This Function is not activated in the following case:

Neither a card nor a tape has been inserted while the Tape/Card Recording Mode is set.

In the following cases, Quick Start is canceled during the Quick Start Standby Mode.

If the [QUICK START] Button is pressed and held for approximately 2 seconds during the Quick Start Standby Mode, the Lamp will go off and the Camcorder will be turned off.

If the Camcorder is not operated for approximately 30 minutes when the Quick Start Recording Lamp lights, the Lamp will go off and the Camcorder will be completely turned off.

In the Automatic White Balance Mode, the color may be recorded unnaturally at the beginning of the recording.

The zoom magnification differs from when it is in the Quick Start Standby Mode and when the recording starts.

„Self-timer Recording

When [BEEP SOUND] on the [INITIAL] Sub-Menu is set to [ON], the beep sound will be emitted along with the Recording Lamp flashing in the Self-timer Standby Mode.

By operating the [OFF/ON] Switch, Recording Start/ Stop Button or Mode Dial, the Self-timer Standby Mode is canceled.

„Zoom In/Out Functions

When you are zooming in on a faraway subject, a sharper focus is achieved if the recording subject is 4 feet (1.2 meters) or further from the Camcorder.

„Zoom Microphone Function

The Zoom Microphone Function may not work effectively if the surrounding noise is too loud.

„Digital Zoom Functions

As the magnification of digital zoom increases, the quality of image may deteriorate.

White balance cannot be set in the digital zoom range.

„Image Stabilizer Function

The Image Stabilizer Function does not operate in a dimly lit place. In this case, the [EIS] Indication flashes.

Under fluorescent lighting, image brightness may change or colors may not look natural.

After-images may appear.

When a tripod is used, it is recommended that you turn the Image Stabilizer off.

The Image Stabilizer Function does not work. In this case, the [EIS] Indication flashes.

The Soft Skin Function and the Backlight Compensation Function cannot be changed.

„Wind Noise Reduction Function

When it is set to [ON], directivity of microphone is regulated depending on the strength of wind to reduce wind noise.
