Recording
Hints
• For details on screen displays during recording, see p.42.
• If you want to compose a shot in which the subject is not centered, first
press PHOTO/SELECT halfway with the subject centered in the monitor.
Next, with the button pressed halfway, compose your shot and fully press
PHOTO/SELECT.
• If the camcorder has difficulty focusing, adjust the focus manually (p.64).
• Although it is possible to fully press PHOTO/SELECT in a single action
without pressing it halfway, the image may be out of focus.
• You can check the card capacity and number of remaining recordable
pictures (p.176).
• If you are unable to record still pictures, see “Troubleshooting” (p.157).
• About Sleep Mode
– You can also return to record pause mode from sleep mode by pressing
PHOTO/SELECT. To record, you need to press PHOTO/SELECT
again.
– When you return to pause mode from sleep mode, the zoom position
(approx. 1.5×), manual focus, exposure, and backlight compensation will
return to their default settings (p.62, 64–67).
– Regardless of the power save setting (p.60), the camcorder power will
automatically turn off if standby in sleep mode continues for
approximately 30 minutes. In this case, first turn the power switch to
“OFF”, then turn it to “SD”.
Notes
• After recording, do not disconnect the battery or AC adapter/charger until
“
m” lights green in the LCD monitor. Doing so may cause an error in the
recorded data and you may not be able to play back the data (p.170).
• Hold the camcorder with both hands and tuck your elbows to your chest or
sides for best recording results.
• When recording with digital zoom, use a tripod for best results.
• The recorded image may differ slightly from the image in the LCD monitor.
