NOTES

The process of recognizing a disc may take a

moment. The display will move while the disc is being read. Wait until the camcorder finishes recognizing the disc before you start recording.

Removing the Disc

1Slide OPEN 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.

•Retract the grip belt under the camcorder so it will not get in the way of the disc cover.

•It may take a moment after sliding OPEN for the disc cover to open.

2Grab the edge of the disc and gently pull it out.

Be careful not to touch the recording surface of the disc or the pick up lens.

3Close the disc cover.

IMPORTANT

When you slide OPEN after making a recording, important file allocation data is updated 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.
