ªRecording the Contents of Other

Equipment

You cannot record on a tape when MPEG4 recording from external input signals is in progress. You cannot record on a card when recording on a tape from external input signals

is in progress.

Recording to a Card

If you set the Mode Dial to Card Recording Mode, you can use the Photoshot function for external input signals.

Black streaks may appear at the 4 edges of the

image.

Analog-Digital Conversion

When the Palmcorder is connected with other digital video equipment through its DV Terminal, images recorded in analog form from other external equipment can be output to the digital video equipment through the DV Terminal.

To DV-output analog video signals sent from other equipment, set [DV OUT] on the

[AV IN/OUT] Sub-Menu to [ON]. (Normally, keep the [DV OUT] set to [OFF]. If it is set to [ON], the quality of the image may be

disturbed.)

When using AV Cable and DV Cable (optional) at the same time, detach the Grip Belt first for easy connecting.

ªUsing the DV Cable for Recording

(Digital Dubbing)

Regardless of the setting, digital dubbing is carried out automatically in the same audio recording mode as that of the playback Cassette.

The images on the recorded monitor may be disturbed, but it does not affect the recorded images.

Even if Playback Digital Effects, Playback Zoom, or Playback Title In have been used, these effects are not output from the DV Terminal.

Even if you use a device equipped with DV Terminals, you may not be able to perform Digital Dubbing in some cases.

Date or other information to be displayed cannot be displayed if the software of the connected equipment does not support the display function.

You cannot record on a tape when MPEG4 recording from external input signals is in progress. You cannot record on a card when recording on a tape from external input signals is in progress.

Cautions for Use

ªAfter Use

2Set the [OFF/ON] Switch to [OFF].

3Take out the Card. (-18-)

ªCautions for Use

When you use your Palmcorder on a rainy or snowy day or on a beach, make sure that no water enters the Palmcorder.

Water may cause the Palmcorder or Cassette to malfunction. (Irreparable failure may occur.)

If sea water splashes onto the Palmcorder, wet a soft cloth with tap water, wring it well, and use it to wipe the camera body carefully. Then, wipe

it again thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.

Keep the Palmcorder away from magnetized equipment (such as a microwave oven, TV, video game equipment, etc.).

If you use the Palmcorder on or near a TV, images or sounds may be disturbed due to

electromagnetic wave radiation.

Do not use near a cell phone because doing so may cause noise to adversely affect the picture and sound.

Recordings on the tape may be damaged, or images may be distorted, by strong magnetic fields created by speakers or large motors.

Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by a microprocessor may adversely affect the Palmcorder, causing the disturbance of images and sounds.

If the Palmcorder is affected by magnetically

charged equipment and does not function properly, turn off the Palmcorder power and detach the Battery or AC Adaptor and then connect the Battery or AC Adaptor again. Thereafter, turn on the Palmcorder power.

Do not use your Palmcorder near radio transmitters or high-voltage cables.

If you record pictures near radio transmitters or high-voltage cables, recorded images or sounds may be adversely affected.

Do not use this Palmcorder for surveillance purposes or other business use.

If you use the Palmcorder for a long period of time, the internal temperature increases and,

consequently, this may cause malfunction. This Palmcorder is not intended for business

use.
