When recording a close subject

When REC LAMP is set to ON, the red camera recording lamps on the front and rear of the camcorder may reflect on the subject if it is close. In this case, we recommend you set REC LAMP to OFF.

After more than five minutes after removing the power source

The “PROG. SCAN,” “HiFi SOUND,” “AUDIO MIX,” “MIC LEVEL,” and “COMMANDER” items are returned to their default settings.

The other menu items are held in memory even when the power source is removed.
