About menu items, LCD panel, viewfinder, and lens
•A menu item that is grayed out is not available under the current recording or playback conditions.
•The LCD screen and the viewfinder are manufactured using extremely high- precision technology, so over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, there may be some tiny black points and/or bright points (white, red, blue, or green in color) that appear constantly on the LCD screen and the viewfinder. These points are normal results of the manufacturing process and do not affect the recording in any way.
Black point White, red, blue or green point
Do not expose your camcorder’s viewfinder, lens, or LCD screen to the sun or strong light source for extended periods.
•Intense light sources, especially the sun will converge on the viewfinder or lens and damage the internal parts of your camcorder. Avoid sunlight or other strong light sources when storing your camcorder. Protect this device by always closing the lens cover or by placing it in its bag when not in use.
On recording
•Before starting to record, test the recording function to make sure the picture and sound are recorded without any problems.
