Operation of the fans
The fans are controlled
automatically according to the
unit's internal temperature.
During recording, they are
controlled for quiet operation.
Normally use this mode.
Normally the fans are
controlled in the same way as
in MIN mode, but during
recording they are controlled
for quieter operation.
However, control for quieter
operation is limited to several
minutes or less.
Use this mode only when the
ambient temperature is normal
or lower.
Setting
Operation of the fans
MIN
In this mode, the fans operate
quietly regardless of whether
the unit is recording. This
mode is preferable for 30
minutes or more of shooting
in quiet environments such as
concert halls.
Use this mode only when the
ambient temperature is normal
or lower.
MAX
The fans rotate at maximum
speed to lower the unit's
internal temperature.
Notes
• If the internal temperature rises so high that the
TEMPERATURE CARE message is displayed, the
fan rotation speed will automatically increase to lower
the temperature.
• If the internal temperature rises so high that the TEMP
WARNING/FAN MAX message appears, the fan
mode changes automatically to MAX. After the
temperature has dropped sufficiently and the message
has disappeared, restore the original mode manually.
• When the video format is 50P or 59.94P, the fans are
controlled as in AUTO1 mode, even when AUTO2 or
MIN mode is selected, so that the higher power
consumption does not lead to higher internal
temperatures. Also, the fans do not operate more
quietly during recording.
To change the fan mode from a menu
You can also change the fan mode by using FAN
MODE on the <OTHERS 1> page of the Camera
>USER (MAINTENANCE) menu (see page
144).
