Basic recording

•For on-screen information display, see pages 16~18.

•For approximate recording times, see page 33.

•Eject the battery when you have finished recording to prevent unnecessary battery power consumption.

•For various functions available when you record videos, see pages 52~66.

•During recording, some button operations are unavailable. ([MODE] button, [MENU] button, etc.)

•Sound is recorded from the internal stereo microphone on the top-front of the camcorder. Take care that this microphone is not blocked.

•Before recording an important video, make sure to test the recording function to check if there is any problem with the audio or video recording.

•You can adjust the brightness of the LCD screen in the menu

options. Adjusting the LCD screen does not affect the image being recorded. ¬page 76

•You cannot use a locked memory card for recording. You will see a message saying recording is disabled due to the lock.

•Recording videos in a quiet environment increases microphone sensitivity that may record surrounding ambient noise. The increasing microphone sensitivity can let the camcorder record zoom noises during zooming (the sound of the zoom mechanism etc).

•When you record indoors or in the dark places, ISO sensitivity is automatically adjusted. It can make interference effects on images and you cannot view the images recorded in the dark places correctly. We recommend you to use professional camcorders like a infrared camcorder when recording at night.

•An image can be shaken when the Anti-Shake(HDIS) function is enabled if the camcorder is mounted on a tripod or fixed on a place. Release the Anti-Shake(HDIS) function when the camcorder is mounted on a tripod.
