Recording Basic Functions

Lighting

When recording outdoors, we recommend recording with the sun at your back.

When using a tripod, do not leave the viewfinder exposed to direct sunlight as it may melt (due to concentration of the light by the lens).

Do not use tripods with fastening screws longer than

5.5 mm (0.2 in.) as it may damage the camcorder.
