Notes & Precautions
ªPower-Related Items
(l 12)
≥When the Palmcorder is 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, detach the Battery, and reattach it.
ªInserting/Ejecting the Cassette
(l 13)
≥In the case of using a previously recorded Cassette, you
can use the Camera Search Function 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 to record.
If the Cassette Holder Does Not Go Back in:
≥Press the [PUSH TO CLOSE] mark and close the
Upper Cassette Compartment Cover firmly.
≥Turn off the Palmcorder and then turn it on again.
≥Check if the Battery charge is low.
If the Cassette Holder Does Not Come Out:
≥Close the Lower Cassette Compartment Cover
completely. Then, open it again.
≥Check if the Battery is weak.
ªAlarm Sounds
When [BEEP] on the [OTHER FUNCTIONS] Sub-Menu on
the [CAMERA FUNCTIONS] Main-Menu is set to [ON],
confirmation/alarm beeps are issued as follows.
1 Beep
≥When you start recording
≥When you switch the [OFF/ON/MODE] Switch from [OFF]
to [ON]
2 Beeps
≥When you pause recording
10 Beeps
≥If you perform a wrong operation before or during recording
ªRecording
(l 20)
≥Before turning on the Palmcorder, remove the Lens Cap. If
the lens cap is still attached when the Palmcorder is turned
on, Automatic White Balance Adjustment may not function
correctly.
ªRecording Check
(l 20)
≥For recording check, the Palmcorder must be the same as
the recording speed Modes (SP/LP) used for the recording.
Otherwise the playback images will be distorted.
ªCamera Search
(l 20)
≥In Camera Search Mode, images may contain mosaic-like
noise patterns. This is a phenomenon that is characteristic
of digital video and not a malfunction.
≥If the recording speed Modes (SP/LP) of previous
recording and new recording are different, playback
images may be distorted.
ªProgressive PhotoShot
TM
Mode
(l 21)
≥When you change to the still picture Mode, you will hear a
click. This is the sound of the iris closing and not an
indication of malfunction.
≥If you record still pictures in Progressive PhotoShot
TM
Mode when your Palmcorder is set to Program AE, the
brightness of the images may vary.
About [PROGRESSIVE] Setting
≥When the [æ] Indication is displayed, you can use the
Progressive PhotoShot Function.
When [PROGRESSIVE] is set to [ON]:
You can use the Progressive PhotoShot Function at any
time. In this case, however, the following functions are
disabled.
≥[EFFECT1] Digital Effect Modes
≥Digital Zoom [D.ZOOM]
≥1/750 or faster shutter speed
≥Continuous PhotoShot Function
≥[REC MODE] on the [CAMERA SETUP] Sub-Menu is set
to [NORMAL] ([FRAME] is not available)
When [PROGRESSIVE] is set to [AUTO]
You cannot use the Progressive PhotoShot Function in the
following circumstances.
≥When the zoom magnification is approximately 10k or
higher
≥When the shutter speed is 1/750 or faster
≥When [EFFECT1] is set to [WIPE], [MIX], [STROBE],
[MAGICPIX], [TRAIL], [MOSAIC], [MIRROR]
≥When the pictures are displayed on a Multi Screen or
P-IN-P screen
≥Continuous PhotoShot Function
ªZoom In/Out Functions
(l 21, 22)
≥By pressing the [W/T] zoom lever to [W] or to [T] in
Recording Pause Mode, you can zoom 1-10k at the
maximum speed of 0.3 seconds.
≥During recording, you can zoom 1-10k in as short a time
as approximately 0.8 seconds.
≥During considerably fast zooming, the image may become
out of focus temporarily.
≥When you are using a high amount of zoom, a sharper
focus is achieved if the recording subject is approximately
4 feet (1.2 m) or more away from the Palmcorder.
ªDigital Electronic Image Stabilizer
Function (l 22)
≥Under conditions of dim lighting, the Electronic Image
Stabilizer Function will not operate correctly. In such a
case, the [EIS] Indication will flash.
≥Under fluorescent lighting, image brightness may change
or colors may not look natural.
≥After-images may appear.
≥We recommend that you turn off the Image Stabilizer
function when a Tripod is in use.
≥By setting [EFFECT1] on the [DIGITAL EFFECT] Sub-
Menu to [MAGICPIX], you can disable the Image Stabilizer
function.
≥When mega-pixel recording is set, the Image Stabilizer
Function cannot be used.
ªFade In/Out Mode
(l 22)
≥Fading-in and fading-out cannot be used when recording
still pictures in the PhotoShot Mode, Digital Still picture
Mode, Multi-Picture Mode, and for the small still picture in
the Picture-in-Picture Mode.
