Note:

•Once you turn the DVD Video Camera on to let it recognise the disc, you can immediately record or play back by turning the DVD Video Camera on again. However, if you remove the disc, replace it, or if the date changes after power is turned on, it will take some time for the DVD Video Camera to start because it must recognise the disc again (See page 143).

•Once you have turned the DVD Video Camera on to record, you can immediately start recording when turning the DVD Video Camera on next time (DVD-R disc).

•It will take some time for the DVD Video Camera to display the Disc Navigation screen after power is turned on.

•If you turn the DVD Video Camera on, the ACCESS indicator will light or blink to show that the DVD Video Camera is recognising the disc or card: During this time, no operation, such as recording, can be performed. After several seconds, the ACCESS indicator will go out, and operating the DVD Video Camera will be possible. If the ACCESS indicator does not go out, refer to “Check 4” on page 143.
