On recording

To ensure stable operation of the memory card, it is recommended to initialize the memory card with your camcorder before the first use (p. 79). Initializing the memory card will erase all the data stored on it and the data will be irrecoverable. Save your important data on your PC etc.

Before starting to record, test the recording function to make sure the image and sound are recorded without any problems. Compensation for the contents of recordings cannot be provided, even if recording or playback is not possible due to a malfunction of the camcorder, recording media, etc.

TV color systems differ depending on the country/region. To view your recordings on a TV, you need a PAL system-based TV. Television programs, films, video tapes, and other materials may be copyrighted. Unauthorized recording of such materials may be contrary to the copyright laws.
