Attach the supplied battery pack
NP-FM30 for the LCD monitor to

Note
Firmly insert the supplied battery cushion as shown

is dropped or otherwise subjected to impact.

What is an “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack?
The “InfoLITHIUM” is a lithium ion battery pack which can exchange data with
compatible electronic equipment about its battery consumption. Sony recommends that
you use the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack with electronic equipment having the

 mark.

* The indication may not be accurate depending on the conditions and environment

in which the equipment is used.
“InfoLITHIUM” is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

• To charge the supplied NP-FM30 battery pack, prepare AC adapter/charger that can

charge “InfoLITHIUM” M series (optional).

• You can use also the “InfoLITHIUM” M series NP-FM50 (optional).
• The recording time of a fully charged NP-FM30 battery pack is approximately 5

hours (continuous recording). The actual recording time may be less, depending on
conditions of use.

The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack is recyclable. When the battery is
exhausted and can no longer be recharged, cover the metal parts of the
battery with an isolator such as scotch tape and take it to a battery
recycling shop.

• Install the camcorder to the marine pack and set the POWER switch to ON to make

images appear on the LCD screen.

• The remaining battery time indicator displayed on the LCD monitor refers to

remaining time of the camcorder battery time, not the remaining time of the LCD
monitor battery.

• The LCD monitor of the marine pack does not correspond with the “InfoLITHIUM”

battery pack.

Install the camcorder to the marine pack.

Connect the remote plug and the
microphone plug.
1

Connect the microphone plug to
the MIC jack (plug in power).

2

Connect the remote plug to the
LANC   jack.

Insert the camcorder until the
mounting shoe clicks into place.

Connect the monitor cord to the
jack of camera mounting shoe B.

The cords are placed in the plug
holders of the marine pack at the
factory. Pull the plugs out of the
holders when in use.

Attach the front shell to the rear
shell. Hold both shells firmly and
fasten the 3 latches securely.

Take care not to pinch the
remote, microphone, and monitor

Fasten the screw tightly.

Check for water leakage
Check that the equipment operates correctly and that there is no water leakage at a
depth of about one meter (3 feet) before you dive deeper.
Take care not to expose the equipment to salty air. Do not drop water on the equipment.
Do not open the marine pack underwater or on the beach. Preparations such as
installing and checking the equipment should be done in a place with low humidity and
no salty air.

s

 Be sure to fully charge both the battery pack of the marine pack and the

camcorder.
• We recommend you use battery packs with a large capacity and prepare a spare

battery.

s 

Be sure that a video tape has enough left.

s

 Check that there are no scratches or cracks on the O-ring.

s

 Make sure there is no dust, sand, or hair between the front shell and the rear shell.

s

 Be sure that the lithium battery has enough power.

• If the remaining battery capacity

is enough, when you press the
ZOOM, PHOTO, or START/
STOP button, the Flash lamp
lights up. Check this indicator as
a criterion. If the flash lamp does
not light, exchange for a new
one. We suggest that you
prepare spare ones.

The best recording time is from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. When the sun is at its highest,
optimum results can be obtained.
To record is in dark places as the sun does not reach or at night, use a powerful
underwater video light.
