To obtain good 3D movies
Shoot the subject from about 30 cm to 5 m (11 7/8 in. to 16 ft. 4 7/8 in.) away. The optimum distance
varies when you use zooming.
If you feel uncomfortable with 3D movies

DISP button to switch the image from 3D to 2D.
The image appears in 2D, but the camcorder continues recording in 3D.

the camcorder on or switch between the movie recording and photo shooting modes. Touch anywhere
except the buttons on the LCD screen to display information on icons with functions convenient for
recording.

A mirror-image of the subject appears on the LCD screen, but the image will be normal when

Notes

The maximum continuous recordable times of movies are as follows:
3D recording: about 6 hours 30 minutes
2D recording: about 13 hours
When a movie file exceeds 2 GB, the next movie file is created automatically.
The following states will be indicated if data is still being written onto the recording media after
recording has finished. During this time, do not apply shock or vibration to the camcorder, or
remove the battery or AC Adaptor.
Access lamp is lit or flashing
The media icon in the upper right of the LCD screen is flashing
The LCD screen of your camcorder can display recording images across the entire screen (full pixel
display). However, this may cause slight trimming of the top, bottom, right, and left edges of images
when played back on a TV which is not compatible with full pixel display. In the case of 2D
recording, it is recommended you record images with [Guide Frame] set to [On] and using the outer
frame of [Guide Frame] as a guide.
When the frame rate is set to [24p], you cannot record photos while the camcorder is in movie
recording mode.
