PURPOSE
PURPOSE
This Study Guide was created to help students prepare for the SONY HXR-NX70U HD Camcorder
Certification Exam, which is necessary to reserve and use the SONY HXR-NX70U HD
Camcorder, specifically for classroom purposes. This Study Guide, in combination with the
camera's Operating Guide provides all essential information on the proper handling and use of
the SONY HXR-NX70U HD Camcorder, including an explanation of contents, procedures to
demonstrate, and required features and techniques to know.
REQUIRED INFORMATION FOR CERTIFICATION
1.
Recite the "Safety Principles" (or "Golden Rules") of the Media Lab.
2.
Identify all items included in the SONY HXR-NX70U Camcorder package.
3.
Demonstrate safe handling of the camera and tripod.
4.
Demonstrate proper set up and knowledge of the camera's basic functions.
5.
Proper "striking" of camcorder equipment package.
THE "GOLDEN RULES" OF THE UHM MEDIA LAB (REQUIRED INFORMATION)  
1. Never force anything! If something you are attempting to do requires any amount of
excessive force, STOP and review your methods.
2. Never over tighten! This may cause the stripping of threads. The use of excessive force
can damage the equipment.
3. Never leave the camcorder equipment unattended! Camcorder and other video
equipment are prime targets for theft.
4. Never leave the camcorder equipment exposed to any heat source! (e.g., in the trunk
of a vehicle). Excessive heat will cause camcorder parts to melt.
5. Never use equipment in "risky" situations/environments! (e.g., any type of airborne
devices or locations including airplanes, helicopters, skateboards, motorcycles,
rollerblades, etc., night time shoots in low lit and/or unsafe areas, and "remote" areas which
require transport of equipment over rough terrain.)
6. Never touch or attempt to clean the lens! There is a high probability of scratching and
permanently damaging the lens without the proper cleaning materials. Only use an
approved cleaning cloth.
7. Never aim the viewfinder or the LCD screen directly at a strong light source! This will
cause permanent damage to the viewfinder/LCD screen. (e.g., the sun, very bright light, or
its reflection from an object.)
8. Never submerge the camera or spray it with water! Although the body of this camera is
rain proof, it is not waterproof and cannot be submerged or sprayed.

    A neutral density filter does not affect the color of the image. The SONY NX70U does not have any internal neutral density filters. When the exposure is beyond the range of the IRIS/APERTURE adjustment, you can attach neutral density filters to the front of the lens or else you must increase the shutter speed to reduce the exposure level of the scene.
