Additional Information
Maintenance and precautions
See page 12 for the details of discs
which you can use with your
camcorder.
Notes on use
Hold the disc by its edge while supporting the
center hole lightly. Do not touch the recording
side (the opposite of the printed side when using
a single-sided disc).
Before shooting, be sure to remove dust and
fingerprints from the disc with a soft cloth.
Otherwise you may not be able to record or play
normally in some situations using that disc.
When you set the disc in your camcorder, press
firmly until it clicks. When the message
[C:13:ss] appears on the LCD screen, open
the disc cover and set the disc again.
Do not attach any adhesive material such as a
sticker on the surface of a disc. If you do so, the
disc may become unbalanced, and this may
cause a malfunction of the disc or your
camcorder.
Use of double-sided discs
Double-sided discs allow you to record both sides
of a disc.
x Recording on the A side
Place the disc in your camcorder with the
side with the symbol at the center facing
outwards until it clicks.
When using a double-sided disc, take care not to
smudge the surface with fingerprints.
When a double-sided disc is used in your
camcorder, recording/playback are performed
on that side only. You cannot switch to record
on or play back the other side with the disc set to
the camcorder. When recording/playback of one
side is complete, remove the disc and turn it
over to access the other side.
Perform the following operations on each side
of a double-sided disc:
Finalizing (p. 66)
