Does anyone know?

What the little sliding tab on the bottom/underside of a SONY VX-1000 battery is? It's this little tab thing that slides and has green on it when you pull it out.

*Bump*

I think it's used as a target for precise punches and kicks. The result is the battery desintegrating into thin air. Really, it's more of an inconvenience to both the owner and the battery itself. Not quite sure what they were thinking.

EDIT* Nevermind

I was thinking of one of these, sorry Mike

Oh I needed that. hahaha

I have no idea. Sorry mang.

pic would help?

Fuck pics, here's a video

all I can think is ita saftey switch, like you can do that on tapes so you dont record over them, I geuss you could flip down that switch and your camera wont turn on in your bag and kill the battery or somthing,

does it work the same with the switch both ways?

I pulled it all the way out. Then put the battery in. And when you put the battery in, it closes it.

Hmm.. my guess is, it may have something to do with your light.. being the fact that the switch color underneath is the same color green as the "Light" sticker.

Look up the model number on that battery.. let us know, cause that's a question I don't know the answer to.

Light? I don't have a light on my camera. The model number is NP-F730

Looks like some sort of lock to me...
