Read this before operating your camcorder (Continued)
• Exposing the LCD screen, the viewfinder,
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.
HDR-UX10:
It is recommended that you use a DVD-
RW/DVD+RW for trial recording (p. 38).
HDR-UX20:
It is recommended that you use the
internal memory of your camcorder for
trial recording (p. 38).
• 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 a 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.
If you cannot record/play back
images, format the media
If you repeat recording/deleting images for
a long time, fragmentation of data occurs on
the internal memory (HDR-UX20) or a
“Memory Stick PRO Duo.” Images cannot
be saved or recorded. In such a case, save
the images on other media (p. 61, 68, 105)
first, then format the media (p. 78).
About changing the language setting
The on-screen displays in each local
language are used for illustrating the
operating procedures. Change the screen
language before using your camcorder if
necessary (p. 26).
On playing back recorded images on
other devices
• Your camcorder is compatible with
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 High Profile for
HD (high definition) image quality
recording. Therefore, you cannot play
back images recorded with HD (high
definition) image quality on your
camcorder with the following devices;
– Other AVCHD-compatible devices which are
not compatible with High Profile
– Devices which are not compatible with the
AVCHD format
Note on disposal/transfer (HDR-UX20)
Even if you format the internal memory
(p. 78), you may not delete data from the
internal memory completely. When you
transfer the camcorder, it is recommended
that you perform [
EMPTY] (p. 83) to
prevent the recovery of your data. In
addition to the above, when you dispose of
the camcorder, it is recommended that you
destroy the actual body of the camcorder.
