Drum - the use and protection

Drum is a key component of the camera, and the drum performance has a direct impact on the quality of the image after recording, so we use it to pay attention to protect. The drum has a head designed to detect the rotational phase of the PG video signal magnetic tip and a rotor mounted on the outer cylindrical surface of the drum motor of the two magnets of opposite polarity, and when the head and the magnet is damaged or bad, PG head available mono recorder instead of the recording head; magnet magnet can be used instead of (with tape glue). But pay attention to the polarity of the magnet to match; distance and position the head to the right.

Drum

In order to Magnetic Rods extend the service life of the drum, we have to do:
First, do not use in dusty places great camera.
Second, do not try to touch the drum surface, or is likely to cause damage to the head.
Third, we want to use the manufacturer's recommended use of the cleaning cartridge.
Fourth, the inferior surface of the tape on the head in terms of like a sandpaper, and old tape dropouts can cause serious head clogging, so we do not use inferior and obsolete tape.
Going out shooting, drum jams are likely to occur, in general we can through the following methods to clean the dirt on the drum.
First, the normal processing mode. We can make the camera enters playback status, remove the tape and put into cleaning tape, then press the playback button, about ten seconds or so cleaning can be, this is a more thorough cleaning method.
Second, the simple approach. When using this method, we must first stop the camera into playback mode, press PLAY playback button, then press REW quick search key, so that the relative speed of the drum with the highest tape, lasted about 15-20 seconds. and then back to the camera state, to find just the end of the recording, then we can continue a normal camera. Often this method is suitable for tape is relatively new and usually very careful to use the machine's environment.
Third, other magnetic name tag treatment methods. When out of the house forgot and easy handling and cleaning does not work, we can get a new tape into the cassette in the camera state to open menus to adjust to the LP mode, then remove the menu, press the camera button camera, About 10-30 minutes later and the machine can be a normal camera up. When the checks have been after a good cleaning, but also to re-adjust to the SP mode in order to get a better film quality.
