Basic Handling of DVD Video Camera/Recorder

TURNING DVD VIDEO CAMERA/RECORDER ON AND OFF

While holding down the red button at the center of power switch, set the switch according to each recording function:

Set to “ PHOTO”:

To record still on DVD-

RAM disc

Set to “ VIDEO”:

To record movie on DVD-

RAM or DVD-R disc

Set to “POWER OFF”:

The DVD video camera/ recorder will turn off.

Set to “ PHOTO”: To record still on SD memory card or multimedia card

Power ON status

During playback, set the power switch to “ VIDEO” or “ PHOTO” when using disc, or set it to “ PHOTO” when using card.

Turn the switch while holding down the red button at the center of switch.

Note:

•Once you turn the DVD video camera/recorder on to let it recognize the disc, you can immediately record or play back by turning the DVD video camera/recorder on again. However, if you remove the disc, replace it, or if the date changes after power is turned on, it will take some time for the DVD video camera/recorder to start because it must recognize the disc again (See page 147).

•It will take some time for the DVD video camera/recorder to display the Disc navigation screen after power is turned on.

•If you turn the DVD video camera/recorder on, the ACCESS indicator will light or blink to show that the DVD video camera/recorder is recognizing the disc or card: During this time, no operation, such as recording, can be performed.

After several seconds, the ACCESS indicator will go out, and operating the DVD video camera/recorder will be possible.

CARD ACCESS indicator

ACCESS/PC indicator

•When the DVD video camera/recorder is turned on, the self-diagnosis function will work and a message may appear. In this case, refer to “Trouble Messages” on page 149 and take corrective action.

•While the ACCESS/PC or CARD ACCESS indicator is lit or blinking, do not violently open or close the LCD monitor.
