The process of recognizing a disc may take a moment. The display will
move while the disc is being read. Wait until the camcorder finishes recognizing
the disc before you start recording.
About the recording time: The recording mode is set by default as SP
(standard play). By changing the recording mode you can change the recording
time available on the disc ( 58).
When recording in bright places it may be difficult to use the LCD screen. In
such case, use the viewfinder instead.
When recording in very loud places (such as fireworks shows or concerts),
sound may become distorted or it may not be recorded at the actual levels. This
is not a malfunction.
Before You Begin Recording
Make a test recording first to check if the camcorder operates correctly. Since
recordings made on a DVD-R cannot be deleted, we recommend you use a DVD-RW
disc (commercially available) to make the test recordings.
