Recording Movies and Photos

NOTES

•The START/STOP button on the handle has a lock lever to prevent accidental operation. Set the lock lever to R in cases such as when you do not want a recording inadvertently paused or do not plan to use this START/STOP button. Return the lever to its previous position to enable use of the START/STOP button again.

pack and is left without any operation for 5 minutes. Press xto turn on the camcorder.

 

•When recording in bright places, it may be difficult to use the LCD screen. In such cases, you can

turn on the LCD backlight (027) or adjust the brightness of the LCD screen with the 6 [LCD Brightness] setting. Alternatively, you can also use the viewfinder (025).

•Under certain conditions, the Smart AUTO icon that appears on the screen may not match the actual scene. Especially when shooting against orange or blue backgrounds, the sunset or one of the blue skies icons may appear and the colors may not look natural. In such case, we recommend

recording in mode (046).

be maintained even after setting the mode switch to .

•Photos are recorded as JPG files. The photo size (1920x1080) and quality cannot be changed. At this size, a 1 GB memory card can hold approximately 670 photos. However, the actual number of photos that can be recorded will vary depending on the subject and shooting conditions.

•Photos cannot be recorded while the digital zoom is activated, during double slot recording or while fading in or fading out a scene.
