Before Using
While the Camcorder is accessing the Card (reading,
recording, playback or erasing), the Card Access
Lamp lights up.
• While the Card Access Lamp is on, never attempt
to open the Card Slot Cover, to pull out the Card,
to turn off the Camcorder, or to turn the Mode Dial.
Such actions will damage the Card, and recorded
data, and cause the Camcorder to malfunction.
