NOTES:

●To store the still images you shot, we recommend that you transfer them to a computer and save them on disk (☞ pg. 63).

●When the Power Switch is set to “CAMERA” and the LCD monitor is opened at an angle of 45 degrees or more, the LCD monitor switches on and the viewfinder switches off automatically to save power. When you use the LCD monitor outdoors in direct sunlight, the LCD monitor may be difficult to see. If this happens, we recommend that you use the viewfinder.

●When the remaining number indicator displays “0” (blinking), it is not possible to continue storing

pictures until you delete some shots to make room for new ones. Perform “DELETE” function in the Menu Screen to remove pictures you do not need (☞pg. 60).

●The Picture Mode can be switched to either “FINE”or “STANDARD”. Since the remaining number of shots available depends on the selected Picture Mode, switching the Picture Mode will vary this number.

●The LENS COVER warning blinks for approx. 5 seconds when the camcorder is turned on when the cover is closed.

●When the SNAPSHOT Button is pressed with the System Select Switch set to “VIDEO”, the picture is

stored not only in the camcorder's built-in memory but also onto the tape (if a tape is in the camcorder) (☞ pg. 26).

●When you shoot in a dark environment, the still image will become coarse and its true colors will be lost.
