NOTES:
●
When the Power Switch is set to CAMERA and the LCD monitor is opened at an angle of 60 degrees or more,
the LCD monitor switches on and the viewfinder switches off automatically to save power (GR-SXM320 only).
●
The cassette holder cannot be opened unless a power supply is attached.
●
There may be a delay after you slide EJECT until the cassette holder opens. Do not use force.
●
The time required to calculate the remaining tape length, and the accuracy of the calculation, may vary
according to the type of tape used.
●
The tape remaining time indicator is correct only if the correct tape length has been selected (
Z
pg. 12).
●
“TAPE END” appears when the tape reaches its end, and the power goes off automatically if left in this
condition for 5 minutes. “TAPE END” also appears when a cassette whose tape is already at its end is loaded.
●
If the Record-Standby mode continues for 5 minutes without performing Zoom or any other operations, the
camcorder’s power shuts off automatically. Set the Power Switch to “OFF”, and then back to “CAMERA” to
turn the camcorder on again.
●
If the Recording Start/Stop button is pressed after the Record-Standby mode has continued for over 5 minutes,
recording may not start immediately.
●
If you are recording on a cassette from the middle (such as when a tape is removed and re-inserted during
recording), use the Retake function (
Z
pg. 19) to find the end of the last recording so you do not erase any
of it.
●
While shooting, sound is not heard from the speaker (GR-SXM320 only).
Self-Recording
JOURNALISTIC SHOOTING (GR-SXM320only)
In some situations, different shooting angles may provide
more dramatic results. Hold the camcorder in the desired
position and tilt the LCD monitor in the most convenient
direction. It can rotate 270° (90° downward, 180° upward).
INTERFACE SHOOTING (GR-SXM320 only)
The person you shoot can view himself/herself in the LCD
monitor, and you can even shoot yourself while viewing your
own image in the LCD monitor.
Open the LCD monitor and tilt it upward to 180 degrees so
that it faces forward. When the LCD monitor is tilted upward
to an angle of over approx. 105 degrees, the monitor image is
inverted vertically, and the viewfinder also switches on.
Point the lens toward the subject (yourself when self-
recording) and start recording.
During Interface Shooting, the monitor image and indications
do not appear inverted as they would when viewing a mirror.
NOTE:
The monitored image can be viewed on the LCD monitor
and in the viewfinder.
LCD MONITOR*/VIEWFINDER INDICA-TIONS
Press DISPLAY for more than 1 second to make the following
indications appear/disappear from the camcorder’s display:
cassette warning, tape remaining time, battery pack remaining
power indicator and tape length indicator (Z pg. 44, 45).
NOTE:
Even if the indications are off, the tape remaining time
appears blinking when the tape is near its end, and the
battery pack remaining power indicator appears blinking
when the power is almost gone.
*GR-SXM320 only.
