NOTES
About the recording time: By changing the
recording mode you can change the recording
time available on the disc (
36).
When recording in bright places it may be
difficult to use the LCD screen. In such case,
use the viewfinder instead.
When recording in very loud places (such as
fireworks shows or concerts), sound may
become distorted or it may not be recorded at
the actual levels. This is not a malfunction.
About the Power Save mode: To save power
when the camcorder is powered by a battery
pack, the camcorder will automatically shut off if
left without any operations for 5 minutes
(
41). To restore the power, slide the power
switch toward MODE and release it, or move
the power switch to
and back to ON
again.
About the LCD and viewfinder screen: The
screens are produced using extremely high-
precision manufacturing techniques, with more
than 99.99% of the pixels operating to
specification. Less than 0.01% of the pixels
may occasionally misfire or appear as black,
red, blue or green dots. This has no effect on
the recorded image and does not constitute a
malfunction.
Recording
Before You Begin Recording
Make a test recording first to check if the
camcorder operates correctly. Since
recordings made on a DVD-R or DVD-R
DL disc cannot be deleted, we recommend
you use a DVD-RW disc to make the test
recordings.
