Getting Started

20

• The disc initialization will take

approximately one minute. Avoid

moving the camcorder while the

operation is in progress.

• You can start recording movies once

the record pause indication

appears.

NOTES

The process of recognizing a disc may take a

moment. The display will move while the

disc is being read. Wait until the camcorder

finishes recognizing the disc before you start

recording.

Removing the Disc

1Slide fully in the direction of

the arrow and gently open the disc

cover completely until it stops.

• Do not subject the camcorder to

strong impacts while the DISC access

indicator is on or flashing.

• Retract the grip belt under the

camcorder so it will not get in the way

of the disc cover.

• It may take a moment after sliding

for the disc cover to open.

2Grab the edge of the disc and gently

pull it out.

Be careful not to touch the recording

surface of the disc or the pick up lens.

3Close the disc cover.

IMPORTANT

When you slide after making a

recording, important file allocation data is

updated on the disc before the disc cover

opens. While the DISC access indicator is on or

flashing do not subject the camcorder to shocks

such as forcefully laying it on a table.

Preparing the Camcorder

1Turn on the camcorder.

2Move the lens cover switch down to

to open the lens cover.

3Adjust the viewfinder.

viewfinder and adjust the dioptric

adjustment lever as necessary.
