Notes

•When the scan mode is 24P, see “Setting the CCD scan mode (DSR-450WS/450WSP only)” on page 107 (DSR- 450WS).

•If you set the POWER switch to off during recording or when recording is paused, the camcorder automatically goes through its shut-down sequence, then powers off. When you next set the POWER switch to on, the camcorder automatically finds the point at which recording ended, and sets itself up so that you can carry in with continuous recording. Note that this operation takes several seconds: do not set the POWER switch to off or replace the battery during this interval, as the automatic recording continuity will be lost.

Note also that the recording continuity is lost in the following cases.

-If the POWER switch is set to on and off repeatedly.

-If the camcorder is left powered off for several hours.

-If the camcorder is subject to severe vibration while powered off.

-If for any other reason the automatic recording continuity function is unable to operate correctly.

-If the lithium battery (CR2032) is exhausted, or if no lithium battery has been fitted.

-If the recording format is changed.
