The [STDBY] Indication
appears.
In the Following Recording Situations, the
Motion Sensor May Not Work Correctly:
≥A white wall or another single-colour background
behind the subject.
≥A subject with horizontal, vertical or oblique
stripes.
≥Sudden changes in the surrounding brightness.
≥Exposure of the Movie Camera to slight shocks or
vibration.
≥Extremely slow or fast movement of the subject.
≥Very little movement of the subject.
≥Recording in a dimly lit place. (The [MOTION
SENSOR] Indication flashes.)
≥A very small subject.
≥Movement of the subject near the edge of the
picture.
≥A background with horizontal or vertical stripes.
≥To prevent accidental recording start caused by
Movie Camera movement, the Movie Camera
should be mounted on a tripod or be otherwise
secured in a very stable position.
≥Although you can select a Digital Effect on the
[DIGITAL EFFECT] Sub-Menu when [MOTION
SENSOR] on the [CAMERA SETUP] Sub-Menu is
set to [ON], the Motion Sensor Function has
priority and the selected digital effect is
automatically cancelled.
≥When [MOTION SENSOR] on the [CAMERA
SETUP] Sub-Menu is set to [ON], it is not possible
to manually start recording by pressing the
Recording Start/Stop Button or to activate the
Recording Check or Camera Search Function.
≥When you use the AC adaptor to power the Movie
Camera, the Motion Sensor Function Stand-by
Mode will continue when no movement is detected
in the picture, even when the tape has reached the
end during recording.
≥To ensure correct functioning of the Motion Sensor
Function, the moving subject should be quite large
in the picture. Therefore, when you have zoomed
the lens to the maximum wide-angle position, the
distance between lens and subject should
preferably be within about 2 metres. For subjects
at larger distances, be sure to zoom in accordingly.
≥The Movie Camera requires time to set up before
recording starts. Therefore, the beginning of
movement is not recorded.
≥If there is a power interruption, the Motion Sensor
Function is cancelled.
≥Approximately 1 second after the Movie
Camera’s Motion Sensor has detected
movement in the picture, recording automatically
starts. Approximately 10 seconds after
movement in the picture has stopped, recording
automatically stops and the Movie Camera is in
the Motion Sensor Function Stand-by Mode.
≥When the Movie Camera remains in the Motion
Sensor Function Stand-by Mode for more than
6 minutes, the Viewfinder or *LCD Monitor turns
off to conserve power.
When the Motion Sensor again detects
movement in the picture, recording automatically
restarts after approximately 4 seconds, and the
Viewfinder or °LCD Monitor turns on.
