To prevent discs from being broken or
recorded pictures from being lost, do
not do the following when either of the
respective lamps of the POWER switch
(p.20) or the ACCESS lamp (p.24) is on:
− to remove the battery pack or AC
Adaptor from the camcorder.
− to apply mechanical shock or vibration
to the camcorder.
•
Before connecting your camcorder to
another device with a USB cable etc.,
be sure to insert the connector plug in

Notes on the Setup items, LCD
screen, viewfinder, and lens
•
A setup item that is grayed out is not
available under the current recording or
playback conditions.
•
The LCD screen and the viewfinder are
manufactured using extremely high-
precision technology, so over 99.99% of
the pixels are operational for effective
use. 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 and the
viewfinder. These points are normal.
•
Exposing the LCD screen, the viewfinder,
or the lens to direct sunlight for long
periods of time may cause malfunctions.
Be careful when placing the camera near
a window or outdoors.
•
Do not aim at the sun. Doing so might
cause your camcorder to malfunction.
Take pictures 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
picture and sound are recorded without
any problems. You cannot delete images
once you record them on a DVD-R.

Use a DVD-RW/DVD+RW (not supplied)
for trial recording (p.13).
•
Compensation for the contents of
recordings cannot be provided, even if
recording or playback is not possible
due to a malfunction of the camcorder,
storage 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.
You cannot dub copyright protected
software on your camcorder.

Zeiss lens, which was developed jointly

typical of a Carl Zeiss lens.
