Features
• Can be used with a camcorder that has the active interface shoe attached.
(Power of the video light cannot be supplied from the camcorder attached)
• The batteries allows long-term recording on the video camera as the power supply is
separate.
• Incorporates a function to prevent extreme discharge of battery capacity
• Attachable to a tripod
• Attachable with the tripod screw of the video camera (Using the accessory shoe adaptor)
• With remaining battery indicator function
• Uses four universal AA nickel hydride rechargeable batteries (optional)
Precautions
• Use only Sony AA nickel hydride rechargeable batteries.
Caution
The front of the video light becomes very hot when it is in use and for a while after it is
turned off.
Do not touch the cover, light bulb, etc. when they are hot.
• Although the batteries may get hot during continuous use, this is not a malfunction. Be
careful when removing the batteries. Wait for a while after switching off the video light
before removing the batteries, or use a cloth etc. to avoid touching them directly.
• The battery video light may go out more quickly when used continuously at a high ambient
temperature. This is due to the activation of a safety device when the battery temperature gets
too high. Replace the batteries with new ones after making sure they have cooled down first,
or wait for the batteries’ temperature to fall before using the battery video light again.
• Do not block the ventilation grills.
• Do not leave the video light on when not in use.
• Be sure to set the POWER switch to OFF before replacing the batteries.
• Do not turn on the video light without the cover in place.
• Do not subject the video light to extreme shock. It may cause the light bulb to burn out or
shorten the life of the bulb.
• Do not spill water on the front glass of the video light when it is hot.
• Do not look at the light bulb while it is on.
• Do not pick up the camcorder by this unit.
• Do not place the light near combustible or volatile solvents such as alcohol or benzine.
• Do not drop any liquid or solid objects into the video light.
• If the voltage drops to a certain extent due to operation of the function to prevent extreme
discharge of battery capacity, the light may go out. This is normal.
In this case, turn off the power, and recharge the batteries or use another charged batteries.
• During use or storage, do not place the batteries in the following locations. Doing so may
cause the batteries to malfunction or deform:
– Hot weather or abnormally hot locations such as inside a car with closed windows
– Direct sunlight or near heating apparatus
– Locations subject to intense vibrations
About the rechargeable batteries
• Do not use combinations of new and used batteries; recharged and uncharged batteries;
batteries with very different frequency of use; batteries of different types.
• The battery life is shorter when used at low or high ambient temperatures, so the lighting
time is also reduced. The battery capacity deteriorates. When using the batteries at the
temperature of 10 °C/50°F or less, the following steps are recommended for longer battery
life:
– To warm the battery, put it in your pocket. (Do not put the battery together with a pocket
heat pad.)
Just before recording, insert the battery pack into the video light.
– Charge the battery at room temperature (from 10 °C/50 °F to 30 °C/86 °F).
• If you repeatedly recharge the batteries before they are fully discharged, their length of use
per charge may be reduced. This is called the “memory effect.” The memory effect can be
corrected by fully recharging and discharging the batteries a number of times.
To prevent the memory effect from occurring, it is recommended that you recharge the
batteries using a charger with a refresh function.
• Because the video light runs on a large current, the life of the rechargeable batteries is
reduced. This is not a malfunction.
After use
• Be sure to turn off the power.
• Make sure that the light has cooled down before putting it in its case.
Be sure to remove the batteries when the video light is not in use or before you put it into a
case.
Cleaning
Clean the video light with a soft dry cloth. If you clean it with a soft cloth lightly moistened
with a mild detergent solution, wipe it with a soft dry cloth after cleaning. Do not use a damp
cloth or any type of solvent, such as alcohol or benzine, which might damage the finish.

Remove all of the batteries being used, and then check them according to the following steps.
Even when the four recommended batteries (Sony nickel hydride rechargeable batteries) are
correctly used, the E lamp may blink red when the battery life is low. This is due to the
conditions of use or slight variations among individual batteries. If any of the batteries become
abnormally hot, replace them all with new ones after making sure they have cooled down first.
If none of the batteries is abnormally hot, there is no problem. Just recharge the batteries and
use them again.
• BATTERY TEMP Lamp
If the temperature of the batteries becomes too high for any reason, the video light goes out and
the red BATTERY TEMP lamp blinks rapidly. The batteries become hot, so be careful not to
touch them directly. When removing them, handle them through a cloth or other such material.
Make sure the batteries have cooled down first.
Remove all of the batteries being used, and then check them according to the following steps.
If the temperature of the batteries gets warm, the orange BATTERY TEMP lamp blinks. This is
