Notes and Hints

Concerning the Power Supply

•When the Camcorder has been used for a long time, the Camera body becomes warm, but this is not a malfunction.

•If the [CHARGE] Lamp does not light up although the Battery is attached to the AC Adaptor, detach the Battery and reattach it.

Inserting/Removing the Cassette

•In the case of using a previously recorded Cassette, you can use the Blank Search Function (p. 22) to find the position where you want to continue recording.

•If a new Cassette is inserted, rewind to the beginning of the tape before starting recording.

•When inserting the cassette, make sure it faces in the right direction and then push it in until it stops.

•When the Cassette Holder is in action, do not touch anything except the [PUSH] mark.

Alarm Sounds

When [BEEP SOUND] on the [INITIAL] Sub-Menu on the [TAPE RECORDING MENU] is set to [ON], confirmation/alarm beeps are issued as follows.

1 Beep

•When you start recording

•When you switch the [OFF/ON] Switch from [OFF] to [ON]

2 Beeps

•When you pause recording

2 Beeps 4 times

•If you perform a wrong operation before or during recording.

Recording Check

•For Recording Check, the recording speed mode (SP/LP) must be the same as the mode used for the recording. If different, playback images will be distorted.

Recording on a Card

•Even if the [SHTR EFFECT] is set to [ON], the Shutter Effect cannot be recorded on the picture.

•When the color of the screen changes or blurs, adjust the shutter speed manually to 1/60 or 1/100.

Photoshot

•One more still picture may be recorded after you release the [PHOTO SHOT] Button.

•The RapidFire Consecutive Photoshot and Title Function cannot be used simultaneously.

•When the [SELF TIMER] is set to [ON], the Camcorder records the maximum number of recordable pictures depending on the [BURST MODE] setting.
