Shooting Video

Before You Begin Recording

Make a test recording first to check if the camcorder operates correctly. Since recordings made on a DVD-R or DVD-R DL disc cannot be deleted, we recommend you use a DVD-RW disc to make the test recordings.

to to open the lens cover.

4 Press Start/Stop to begin recording.

•The recording starts; press Start/Stop again to pause the

recording.

•The DISC access indicator will flash while recording and will stay on briefly after pausing while the scene is recorded on the disc.

IMPORTANT

•When recording movies, try to get a calm, stable picture.

Excessive camcorder movement while shooting and extensive use of fast zooms and panning can result in jittery scenes. In extreme cases, the playback of such scenes may result in visually induced motion sickness. If you experience such a reaction, immediately stop the playback and take a rest break as necessary.
