ªTo record still pictures clearly

When zooming in on the subject with a magnification of 4k or higher, it is difficult to

reduce the slight shaking from holding the Camcorder by hand. We recommend decreasing the zoom magnification and approaching the subject when recording.

When recording still pictures, hold the Camcorder firmly with your hands and keep your arms stationary at your side so as not to shake the Camcorder.

You can record stable pictures without shaking by using a tripod and the remote control.

For the number of still pictures to be recorded on a card, refer to -78-.

The moving picture and sound cannot be recorded.

While data are recorded on a card, do not operate the mode dial.

When the access lamp is lit, do not insert or remove a card.

Another product may degrade or not play back data recorded on this Camcorder.

If set [PICT.QUALITY] >> [ ], mosaic-pattern noise may appear on a playback image

depending on the picture content.

When the [PICTURE SIZE] is set to other than [ 0.2 ] or [ 0.3M ], the mega pixel recording mode
