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.
Quick Start
During the Quick Start Standby Mode, a minute
amount of electricity is consumed.
When the Camcorder is left in the Recording Pause
Mode for 5 minutes, it will be turned into the Quick
Start Standby Mode. To turn the Camcorder on

30 minutes when the Quick Start Recording Lamp
lights, the Lamp will go off and the Camcorder will be
