−Disc cannot correctly be recognised

−Delay between video

and audio Even if disc is normal, the

above phenomena may

occasionally occur. While the ACCESS/PC indicator is lit, do not subject disc to vibrations or impact, and avoid using DVD Video Camera at extremely high or low temperatures, or in environment where condensation is likely occur.

•When recording images,

the DVD Video Camera may avoid the portions of

disc where recording is not possible, due to dust,

scratches, etc. [It will pause mat such a

portion and automatically restart recording (n).] This will cause recording

to be interrupted for several seconds to several minutes, and multiple thumbnails will be created by one recording session as shown above. In this case, the recordable time on disc will decrease.

•Be careful when removing the disc since the metal of removal slot of DVD Video Camera, and disc itself, may be hot.
