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 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. Attaching the video light to the camcorder (Illustration D) Attaching the video light to the accessory shoe 1 Turn the light attachment knob on the video light toward RELEASE in order to retract the screw. 2 Attach the video light to the accessory shoe on the camcorder. 3 Turn the light attachment knob on the video light toward LOCK to fasten the video light. (Do not attach the video light to a video camera that has an intelligent accessory shoe. The accessory shoe may be damaged.) Attaching the video light to the concave screw 1 Turn the light attachment knob on the video light toward LOCK to extend the screw. 2 Align the screw part of the video light with the concave screw. 3 Turn the light attachment knob on the video light toward LOCK to fasten the video light. Attaching the video light to the convex screw on the tripod or grip 1 Turn the light attachment knob on the video light toward RELEASE as far as it will go, in order to retract the screw. 2 Insert the video light into the convex screw, and screw the video light. Adjusting the angle of the video light (Illustration E) 1 Unfasten the lighting angle adjusting screw with a coin and adjust the angle of the video light. 2 Fasten the lighting angle adjusting screw with a coin and lock firmly to fix the angle of the video light. Note When adjusting the angle, hold the video light body firmly while loosening the lighting angle adjusting screw. Opening the protection plate, condenser lens and diffuser Note Open the protection plate, condenser lens and diffuser about 45 degrees as in Illustration A. The angle of 45 degrees or more provides a buffer range to prevent damage. Note that using force to open to 45 degrees may cause damage. Turning the video light on 1 Slide the POWER switch to ON while pressing down on the green button. 2 The remaining battery lamp lights up in steps as the remaining battery capacity is checked and calculated. 3 The white LED comes on about 1.5 seconds after the POWER switch is turned on. 4 The remaining battery capacity appears about 8 seconds after the POWER switch is turned on. Adjust the illuminance The illuminance of the video light can be adjusted between 100% (max) and about 10% (min) using the BRIGHT dial. Using the condenser lens Illuminance can be doubled by using the condenser lens. The angle of illuminance will become narrower. Using the diffuser The diffuser reduces glare and softens the light. Notes • When recording with the video light, if the subject is too close to the camcorder, several shadows of the subject may overlap (multi-shadow). • The color temperature varies slightly depending on the position of the BRIGHT dial and the temperature of the white LED. Always adjust the white balance of the video camera manually before recording. • When storing the video light, store the condenser lens first, followed by the diffuser and then the protection plate. Checking the remaining battery capacity The remaining battery capacity can be checked even if the POWER switch is set to OFF. 1 Attach the battery pack to the video light. 2 With the POWER switch set to OFF, press the battery check button. 3 The remaining battery lamp lights up in steps as the remaining battery capacity is checked and calculated. 4 About 8 seconds after, the remaining battery capacity will be displayed. 5 After about 10 seconds, the remaining battery lamp will turn off. If you press the battery check button, the calculation or display function will be stopped. If you turn on the POWER switch while the remaining battery capacity is being calculated or displayed, POWER ON operation begins. (Remaining battery capacity is rechecked.) Lamp indicators Remaining battery lamp This indicator shows the approximate remaining battery power. The remaining battery power will be displayed about 8 seconds after setting the POWER switch to ON or after pressing the battery check button. (4 segments lit) (3 segments lit) (2 segments lit) (1 segment lit) (1 segment flashing) About 75% or more About 50% - 75% About 25% - 50% About 5% - 25% About 5% or less • When the battery capacity is low ( when flashing) About 5 minutes before the batteries run out, the remaining battery lamp turns green and begins to slowly flash (1 segment). The time before the batteries run out varies depending on the frequency of use of the batteries and the ambient temperature. This indicator should only be used as a rough guide, and it is recommended that the batteries be replaced promptly. • When the battery pack runs out When the battery pack runs out, the video light goes out and the remaining battery lamp turns green and blinks rapidly for about 10 seconds (1 segment). Set the POWER switch to OFF and recharge the battery pack or replace it with a fully charged battery pack. • Communication error (4 segments flash) For about 10 seconds after the remaining battery check is complete If an error occurs for some reason during communication with the battery pack or if batteries other than the Sony "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack L series are inserted, 4 segments flash for 10 seconds to indicate a communication error and then the remaining battery display disappears. Notes • When using batteries other than the Sony "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack L series (NP-F900 range, NP-F700 range) with the video light, the remaining battery capacity will not be displayed. • When using a battery pack that only has a short lifetime remaining, the remaining battery display may not agree with the actual remaining battery capacity. • When using a "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack attached to the "InfoLITHIUM" compatible AC adaptor/charger, the available operating time will not be displayed. To display the operating time, attach the battery pack to the camcorder and then use for about 20 seconds before attaching the battery pack to the AC adaptor/charger again. • The battery pack cannot be recharged with the video light. TEMP lamp When the white LED overheats for some reason, the video light will be turned off for safety reasons, and the TEMP lamp turns red and blinks rapidly for about 60 seconds. If the ambient temperature is high, use the video light at a lower temperature. If the TEMP lamp continues to blink, stop using the video light and consult your Sony dealer or local authorized Sony service facility. Removing the video light 1 Set the POWER switch to OFF. 2 Slide the battery release button and at the same time pull the battery pack upward. 3 Turn the light attachment knob on the video light toward RELEASE. If the video light is attached to a convex screw, loosen the convex screw. 4 Remove the video light from the accessory shoe of the camcorder, tripod etc. 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.
