About menu items, LCD panel and lens

A menu item that is grayed out is not available
under the current recording or playback
conditions.

The LCD screen is manufactured using
extremely high-precision technology, so over
99.99% of the pixels are effective. However,
there may be some tiny black points and/or
bright points (white, red, blue, or green in
color) that appear constantly on the LCD
screen. These points are normal results of the
manufacturing process and do not affect the
recording in any way.

Exposing the LCD screen or the lens to direct
sunlight for long periods of time may cause
malfunctions.

Do not aim at the sun. Doing so might cause
your camcorder to malfunction. Take images of
the sun only in low light conditions, such as at
dusk.
On recording

Before starting to record, test the recording
function to make sure the image and sound are
recorded without any problems.

Compensation for the contents of recordings
cannot be provided, even if recording or
playback is not possible due to a malfunction of
the camcorder, recording media, etc.

TV color systems differ depending on the
countries/regions. To view your recordings on a
TV, you need an NTSC system-based TV.

Television programs, films, video tapes,
and other materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized recording of such materials may
be contrary to the copyright laws.
About changing the language setting
The on-screen displays in each local
language are used for illustrating the
