About Recording
When recording pictures on a tape, set the Mode Dial 36 to Tape Recording Mode [ 
].
When recording still pictures on a card, set the Mode Dial 36 to Card Recording Mode [ 
].
When recording with the [AUTO/MANUAL/FOCUS] Switch 17 set to [AUTO], the Camcorder automatically adjusts the focus and white balance. In some cases, they cannot be adjusted automatically and need to be adjusted manually. (pp. 28, 30)

•Before turning on the power, remove the Lens Cap. If the Lens Cap is still attached when the power is turned on, Automatic White Balance Adjustment (p. 28) may not function correctly.
•When the Recording Pause Mode continues for more than 5 minutes, the power is turned off automatically for tape protection and power conservation. (If the AC Adaptor is used, the power is turned off only when the tape is inserted in Tape Recording Mode.)

To resume recording from this condition, turn off, then turn on the power again.
