In deep water or under rocks where
direct sunlight does not reach,
recording with underwater video lights
is recommended.
You can attach these video lights to the
video light shoes on the upper part of
both grips.

Underwater video lights such as the
Sony HVL-ML20M (optional)

Attachable to the video light

The marine pack is designed to be
waterproof, however if water happens
to leak in, the LEAK lamp (yellow)
flashes.
In such a case, remove the marine pack
from the water as soon as possible,
keeping it horizontal. Be sure to surface
following the safety rules for diving.
Dry the marine pack with a soft cloth
and then open it.
To switch off the lamp, disconnect the remote control cable.
Check the cause of the leak.

If the camcorder is wet, take it to the nearest Sony dealer immediately.
We recommend you purchase property damage insurance for underwater materials in
case of emergency.

• After recording in the sea, submerge the marine pack in tap water or fresh water for

about 30-60 minutes before undoing the latches to completely remove any salt from
the marine pack unit, filter, and wide-conversion lens.

• When your camcorder is to be used near the sea for a long time, we recommend that

it be checked periodically by the nearest Sony dealer.
