Notes & Precautions

ªPower-Related Items (l12)

≥When the Camera/Recorder is 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, detach the Battery and reattach it.

ªInserting/Ejecting the Cassette (l13)

≥In the case of using a previously recorded Cassette, you can use the Camera Search Function 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.

If the Cassette Holder Does Not Go Back in: ≥Press the [PUSH TO CLOSE] mark and close the

Upper Cassette Compartment Cover firmly. ≥Turn off the Camera/Recorder and then turn it on

again.

≥Check if the Battery is weak.

If the Cassette Holder Does Not Come Out: ≥Close the Lower Cassette Compartment Cover

completely. Then, open it again. ≥Check if the Battery is weak.

ªRecording (l20)

≥Before turning on the Camera/Recorder, remove the Lens Cap. If the lens cap is still attached when the Camera/ Recorder is turned on, Automatic White Balance Adjustment may not function correctly.

ªRecording Check (l20)

≥For recording check, the Camera/Recorder must be the same as the recording speed Modes (SP/LP) used for the recording. Otherwise the playback images will be distorted.

ªCamera Search (l20)

≥In Camera Search Mode, images may contain mosaic-like noise patterns. This is a phenomenon that is characteristic of Camera/Recorder and not a malfunction.

≥If the recording speed Modes (SP/LP) of previous recording and new recording are different, playback images may be distorted.

ªProgressive Photoshot Function (l21)

≥When you change to the still picture Mode, you will hear a click. This is the sound of the iris closing and not an indication of malfunction.

≥If you record still pictures in Progressive Photoshot Mode when your Camera/Recorder is set to Program AE, the

brightness of the images may vary.

About [PROGRESSIVE] Setting

≥When the [æ] Indication is displayed, you can use the Progressive Photoshot Function.

When [PROGRESSIVE] is set to [ON]:

You can use the Progressive Photoshot Function at any time. In this case, however, the following functions are disabled.

≥[EFFECT1] Digital Effect Modes

≥Digital Zoom [D.ZOOM]

≥1/750 or faster shutter speed ≥Continuous Photoshot Function ≥Frame Mode

When [PROGRESSIVE] is set to [AUTO]:

You cannot use the Progressive Photoshot Function in the following circumstances.

≥When the zoom magnification is approximately 10 t or higher

≥When the shutter speed is 1/750 or faster

≥When [EFFECT1] is set to [WIPE][MIX][STROBE] [GAIN-UP][TRAIL][MOSAIC][MIRROR]

≥When the pictures are displayed on a Multi screen or P-IN-P screen

≥Continuous Photoshot Function ≥Frame Mode

≥The surrounding brightness is not enough.

ªZoom In/Out Functions (l21, 22)

≥By pressing the [W/T] zoom lever to [W] or to [T] in Recording Pause Mode, you can zoom 1-10 t at the maximum speed of 0.3 seconds.

≥During recording, you can zoom 1-10 t in as short a time as approximately 0.8 seconds.

≥During considerably fast zooming, the image may become out of focus temporarily.

≥When you are zooming on a faraway subject, a sharper focus is achieved if the recording subject is approximately 4 feet (1.2 m) or more away from the Camera/Recorder.

ªOptical Image Stabilizer Function (l22)

≥After-images may appear.

≥We recommend that you turn off the Image Stabilizer Function when a Tripod is in use.

≥Within the digital zoom range, or when recording with a conversion lens attached, the Image Stabilizer Function may not work effectively.

ªFade In/Out Mode (l22)

Fading-in and fading-out cannot be used when recording still pictures in the Photoshot Mode, Digital Still Picture Mode and Multi-Picture Mode.

ªProgram AE (l23)

≥If any of the Program AE Modes is selected, you cannot

adjust the shutter speed or iris.

≥You cannot use Sports Mode, Portrait Mode and Low Light Mode with Gain-up Mode [GAIN-UP].

Sports Mode

≥During normal playback, the image movement may not look smooth.

≥Because the color and brightness of the playback image may change, avoid recording under fluorescent light, mercury light, or sodium light.

≥If you record a subject illuminated with strong light or a highly reflective subject, vertical lines of light may appear.

≥If the light is insufficient, the [5] Indication flashes.

Sports Mode/Portrait Mode

≥If you record a still picture in Progressive Photoshot Mode, the brightness of the recorded still picture may become unstable.

≥If these modes are used for indoor recording, playback images may flicker.

Low Light Mode

≥Extremely dark scenes may not be able to be made brighter to a satisfactory degree.

Spotlight Mode

≥With this Mode, recorded images may turn out to be extremely dark.

≥If the recording subject is extremely bright, its recorded image may turn out to be whitish.

Surf & Snow Mode

≥If the recording subject is extremely bright, its recorded image may turn out to be whitish.
