Set AUDIO MODE to 16 BIT so that you can get higher sound quality. In 16 bit mode, the digital camcorder records one video sector [c] and one audio sector [d]. In the viewfinder the “16 BIT” indicator appears.

Set AUDIO MODE to 12 BIT, and 1 sector is left open for audio dubbing afterwards. In 12 bit mode, the digital camcorder records one video sector [c], one audio sector [d], and one blank audio sector [e], which enables you to add narration or music after the initial recording.

•You cannot operate audio dubbing on 16 bit recorded tapes.

For more professional-looking recordings, use the zoom function sparingly. “T” side: for telephoto (subject appears closer)

“W” side: for wide-angle (subject appears farther away)
