2 Turn the DVD camera/recorder on.

Set the power switch to “SD”.

After the CARD ACCESS indicator goes out, perform the subsequent operation:

3 Check the subject on the screen (viewfinder or LCD).

When using the viewfinder, pull it out and close the LCD monitor.

4 Press the PHOTO/SELECT button half way (half pressing).

5 Press the PHOTO/SELECT button all the way (full pressing).

The screen will be black, and then the recorded still will be displayed. When the “m” mark appears, you can proceed with the next recording; while “CARD ACCESS” is being displayed, you cannot proceed with the next recording.

Note:

•If you wish to record without locating a subject at the center of screen, first locate the subject at the center of screen, press the PHOTO/SELECT button halfway down, determine the composition to be recorded, and then press the PHOTO/SELECT button all the way down.

•If you press the PHOTO/SELECT button all the way down at one stroke without pressing it half way, recording will be possible, but the focus may be incorrect.

•See “Size And Quality Of Photos” on page 160 for details of photos on card.

•See “Troubleshooting” on page 149 if recording photos is not possible.

•If focusing is difficult with auto focus, choose manual focus, and manually correct the focus before recording (see page 55).

•Shake of the DVD video camera/recorder may cause blur in recorded image.

•When holding the DVD video camera/recorder for recording, grasp it securely with both hands.

•When recording with higher zoom magnification, it is recommended that you secure the DVD video camera/recorder on a tripod.

•There may be a difference between the image you see on the LCD screen or viewfinder and the recorded image.

The DVD video camera/recorder will automatically focus on the subject at the center of screen, and the “m” indicator on screen will light in purple (the focus will not change when manual focus is chosen).
