About this Handycam Handbook

The example images used in this Handycam Handbook for illustration purposes are captured using a digital still camera, and therefore may appear different from images and screen indicators that actually appear on your camcorder.

The HDR-XR520VE is used for illustrations in this book, unless otherwise mentioned.

In this Handycam Handbook, the internal hard disk of your camcorder and “Memory Stick PRO Duo” media are called “recording media.”

“Memory Stick PRO Duo” media and “Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo” media are both referred to as “Memory Stick PRO Duo” media in this manual.

Design and specifications of your camcorder and accessories are subject to change without notice.
