zTips
• When recording in high definition image quality (HD), the aspect ratio is fixed to 16:9. When recording in
standard definition image quality (SD), you can switch the aspect ratio to 4:3 ([ WIDE REC], p.73).
• You can change the screen display during recording (p.49).
• Indicators displayed on the screen during recording are shown on page 114.
• The recording lamp can be set to stay off ([REC LAMP], p.80).
• For low angle recording, the handle record button is convenient. Release the HOLD lever to enable the
handle record button. It might be helpful if you set the LCD panel face up or close it after turning it face
down, or lift the viewfinder up during the low angle recording.
• You can capture still images from the movies you recorded (p. 59).
To continue recording on memory cards, one after another (Relay recording)
Insert memory cards each in both slots A and B, so the camcorder switches memory card A (or
B) just before space on the other one runs out, and continues recording on the next memory
card automatically.
Press and hold the green
button.
