Recording

≥This unit has lens-protecting glass to prevent drops of water getting in the lens. If there is dirt or drops of water on the lens-protecting glass, wipe them off before recording. We recommend using the cleaning cloth.

≥If there are drops of water on the microphone, the recorded sound will be distorted. Wipe off any drops of water on the microphone.

≥When you are outdoors, record pictures with the sunlight behind you. If the subject is backlit, it will become dark in the recording.

≥When recording, make sure your footing is stable and there is no danger of colliding with another person or an object.
