•If the salvage succeeded, the message “COMPLETED.” appears.

•If the salvage failed, the message “INCOMPLETED.” appears. Clips for which recording did not end normally are lost.

To exit without salvaging

Select NO in step 2 to exit without performing salvage processing.

However, the status of the disc does not change. Salvage is still required to recover the clips for which recording did not end normally. The salvage message will appear again when that disc is inserted again, or when the camcorder is powered on again.

Note

If salvage processing is not done, sections which were recorded normally can be played back, but no new recording can be done on the disc.

3 Check the switch settings on the camcorder.

If you do not have enough time to check the settings of the unit, you can turn the EZ MODE-assigned switch on to use EZ mode for instant shooting.

EZ mode

In EZ mode, the settings of this unit are fixed at standard values, and the lens aperture and white balance are adjusted automatically. In this state, it is not possible to change menu or other settings. To change settings, turn EZ mode off. In the factory default configuration, the ASSIGN 1 switch (see page

13)turns EZ mode on and off.

4 Check the settings in the menu.
