Notes and Hints
Alarm Sounds
When [BEEP SOUND] on the [INITIAL] Sub-Menu
on the [TAPE RECORDING MENU] is set to [ON],
confirmation/alarm beeps are issued as follows.
1 Beep
• When you start recording
• When you switch the [OFF/ON] Switch from [OFF]
to [ON]
2 Beeps
• When you pause recording
2 Beeps 4 times
• If you perform a wrong operation before or during
recording.
Recording Check
• For Recording Check, the recording speed mode
(SP/LP) must be the same as the mode used for
the recording. If different, playback images will be
distorted.
Recording on a Card
• Even if the [SHTR EFFECT] is set to [ON], the
Shutter Effect cannot be recorded on the picture.
• When the color of the screen changes or blurs,
adjust the shutter speed manually to 1/60 or 1/100.
Photoshot
• Photoshot Recording results in slightly inferior image
quality.
RapidFire Consecutive Photoshot
• One more still picture may be recorded after you
release the [PHOTO SHOT] Button.
• The RapidFire Consecutive Photoshot and Title
Function cannot be used simultaneously.
• When the [SELF TIMER] is set to [ON], the
Camcorder records the maximum number of
recordable pictures depending on the [BURST
MODE] setting.
• When using a card formatted by other equipment,
intervals between recorded pictures may become
large.
• If you repeatedly record or erase pictures, intervals
between recorded pictures may become large. In
this case, back up your important data on a PC, and
format your card using this Camcorder.
Recording with the Built-in LED Video
Light
• The subject should be within 4.9 feet (1.5 metres) of
the Camcorder.
• Using the LED Video Light reduces battery time.
• Set the LED Video Light to off when not in use.
• Do not look directly into the light.
• If the LED Video light is used with a Conversion
lens attached, a slight vignetting (darkening around
edges) effect occurs on the screen.
• Using the MagicPix Function at the same time will
make conditions even brighter.
• The Video Light brightens images recorded in a
dimly-lit place, however we recommend using it in a
bright place in order to obtain high quality images.

Concerning the Power Supply
• When the Camcorder has been used for a long time,
the Camera body becomes warm, but this is not a
malfunction.
• If the [CHARGE] Lamp does not light up although
the Battery is attached to the AC Adaptor, detach the
Battery and reattach it.
Inserting/Removing the Cassette
• In the case of using a previously recorded Cassette,
you can use the Blank Search Function (p. 22)
to find the position where you want to continue
recording.
• If a new Cassette is inserted, rewind to the beginning
of the tape before starting recording.
• When inserting the cassette, make sure it faces in
the right direction and then push it in until it stops.
• When the Cassette Holder is in action, do not touch
anything except the [PUSH] mark.
