Removing the Disc
1. Slide fully in the direction of the arrow and gently open the disc
cover completely until it stops.
• Do not subject the camcorder to strong impacts while the DISC access indicator is
on or flashing.

cover.
• It may take a moment after pressing for the disc cover to open.
2. Grab the edges of the disc and gently pull it out.
Be careful not to touch the recording surface of the disc or the pick up lens.
3. Close the disc cover.
When you slide after making a recording, additional important data is
recorded on the disc before the disc cover opens. While the DISC access indicator
is on or flashing do not subject the camcorder to shocks such as forcefully laying it
on a table.
