Remarks, etc.

In the Following Recording Situations, the Motion Sensor May Not Work Correctly:

≥A white wall or another single-colour background behind the subject.

≥A subject with horizontal, vertical or oblique stripes.

≥Sudden changes in the surrounding brightness. ≥Exposure of the Movie Camera to slight shocks or

vibration.

≥Extremely slow or fast movement of the subject. ≥Very little movement of the subject.

≥Recording in a dimly lit place. (The [MOTION SENSOR] Indication flashes.)

≥A very small subject.

≥Movement of the subject near the edge of the picture.

≥A background with horizontal or vertical stripes.

≥To prevent accidental recording start caused by Movie Camera movement, the Movie Camera should be mounted on a tripod or be otherwise secured in a very stable position.

≥Although you can select a Digital Effect on the [DIGITAL EFFECT] Sub-Menu when [MOTION SENSOR] on the [CAMERA SETUP] Sub-Menu is set to [ON], the Motion Sensor Function has priority and the selected digital effect is automatically cancelled.

≥When [MOTION SENSOR] on the [CAMERA SETUP] Sub-Menu is set to [ON], it is not possible to manually start recording by pressing the Recording Start/Stop Button or to activate the Recording Check or Camera Search Function.

≥When you use the AC adaptor to power the Movie Camera, the Motion Sensor Function Stand-by Mode will continue when no movement is detected in the picture, even when the tape has reached the end during recording.

Operations

≥Approximately 1 second after the Movie Camera’s Motion Sensor has detected movement in the picture, recording automatically starts. Approximately 10 seconds after movement in the picture has stopped, recording automatically stops and the Movie Camera is in the Motion Sensor Function Stand-by Mode.

≥When the Movie Camera remains in the Motion Sensor Function Stand-by Mode for more than

6 minutes, the Viewfinder or *LCD Monitor turns off to conserve power.

When the Motion Sensor again detects movement in the picture, recording automatically restarts after approximately 4 seconds, and the Viewfinder or °LCD Monitor turns on.

°LCD Monitor: NV-VZ14/VZ15 only

≥To ensure correct functioning of the Motion Sensor Function, the moving subject should be quite large in the picture. Therefore, when you have zoomed the lens to the maximum wide-angle position, the distance between lens and subject should preferably be within about 2 metres. For subjects at larger distances, be sure to zoom in accordingly.

≥The Movie Camera requires time to set up before recording starts. Therefore, the beginning of movement is not recorded.

≥If there is a power interruption, the Motion Sensor Function is cancelled.
