(Warning indicator pertaining to camera-shake warning)

The amount of light is not sufficient, so camera-shake easily occurs. Use the flash.

(Warning indicator pertaining to drop sensor)

The drop sensor function (p. 67) is activated, and has detected that the camcorder has been dropped.

Therefore, the camcorder is taking steps to protect the hard disk. Recording/playback may be disabled as a result.

(Warning on recording still images)

Still images cannot be recorded during processing. Wait for a while, then record.

*You hear a melody when the warning indicators appear on the screen (p. 64).
