Features
• The HVL-LBP is a video light that uses a high-brightness white LED as its lens
light source.
• The white LED has a long lifetime of about 10,000 hours along with excellent
impact-resistance and weather-resistance qualities, and so requires hardly any
maintenance. It is built to last and does need to be replaced.
• By using the battery adaptor cord when the video light is attached to your
camcorder, the weight of the camcorder is reduced and so is lighter to hold.
Precautions
• The video light does not have dust-proof, splash-proof or water-proof
specifications.
• The video light is a precision instrument. Do not cause strong impacts to the
video light such as by dropping it or striking it.
• Use the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack NP-F970/F960/F770/F750/F730. The
NP-F970/F770 is recommended.
• The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack NP-F570/F550/F530/F330 cannot be used.
•Do not attach the video light to a camcorder equipped with an intelligent
accessory shoe. The accessory shoe may be damaged.
•Only use the video light within an ambient temperature range of 0 °C (35 °F) to
40 °C (104 °F).
• Do not block the vents. Doing so will raise the internal temperature, and it may
cause a fire or accident, or cause the unit to malfunction.
• Do not look directly at the white LED while it is on. It may damage your eyes.
• To prevent the camcorder from dropping, do not carry your camcorder by the
video light when it is attached.
• Do not place the video light near combustible or volatile solvents, such as
alcohol or benzine. Doing so may cause fire or smoke to be emitted.
•Do not allow any liquids into the video light or drop combustible objects or
metal objects on the video light. Doing so may cause a fire or cause the unit to
malfunction if used.
• During use or storage, do not place the video light in the following locations.
Doing so may cause the video light 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
• The battery pack 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 battery packs at the temperature of 10 °C (50 °F) or less, the following
steps are recommended for longer battery life:
– To warm the battery pack, put it in your pocket. (Do not put the battery pack
together with a pocket heat pad.) Just before recording, insert the battery pack
into the video light.
– Charge the battery pack at room temperature (from 10 °C (50 °F) to 30 °C (86
°F)).
•When you have finished using the video light, be sure that the POWER switch
on the video light is set to OFF.
•When not using the video light or when you have finished using it, remove the
battery pack.
•Do not store away the video light immediately after using it. The white LED
may be damaged by the generated heat. Check that the power of the video light
is set to OFF and the video light has cooled sufficiently before storing it in your
bag, etc.
• Leaving the condenser lens in direct sunlight while closed could cause a
malfunction. Leaving the condenser lens in direct sunlight while open could
cause fire near the focal point of the lens.
• Recording with the video light attached to the video camera body can slightly
affect the recorded sound.

Using the video light
Attaching the battery pack
Attaching the battery pack to the video light (Illustration B)
Check that the POWER switch is set to OFF and attach the fully charged
battery pack to the battery mount on the video light.
Using the battery adaptor cord (Illustration C)
The battery adaptor cord allows you to use the video light with the battery pack
detached.
1 Attach the battery adaptor cord (Illustration C-1) to the battery mount
on the video light.
2 Attach the battery pack to the battery mount on the adaptor
(Illustration C-2).
Notes
• The battery adaptor cord can only be used with this video light.
• When using the video light with the battery pack attached to the battery
adaptor cord, the continuous lighting time will be about 10 % shorter than if
the battery pack was attached directly to the video light.
• If the battery mount part of the battery adaptor cord is fixed with a holding
band etc., be careful when moving the unit not to pull the cord and knock
down the camcorder or tripod.
