Notes on the Setup items, LCD screen,
viewfinder, and lens
• A setup item that is grayed out is not
available under the current recording or
playback conditions.
• The LCD screen and the viewfinder are
manufactured using extremely high-
precision technology, so over 99.99% of the
pixels are operational for effective use.
However, there may be some tiny black
points and/or bright points (white, red, blue,
or green in color) that appear constantly on
the LCD screen and the viewfinder. These
points are normal.
• Exposing the LCD screen, the viewfinder,
or the lens to direct sunlight for long periods
of time may cause malfunctions. Be careful
when placing the camera near a window or
outdoors.
• Do not aim at the sun. Doing so might cause
your camcorder to malfunction. Take
images of the sun only in low light
conditions, such as at dusk.
On recording
• Before starting to record, test the recording
function to make sure the image and sound
are recorded without any problems.
• Compensation for the contents of
recordings cannot be provided, even if
recording or playback is not possible due
to a malfunction of the camcorder.
• TV color systems differ depending on the
countries/regions. To view your recordings
on a TV, you need a NTSC system-based
TV.
• Television programs, films, video tapes,
and other materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized recording of such materials
may be contrary to the copyright laws. You
cannot dub copyright protected software on
your camcorder.
Compatibility of images
• You cannot play back both movies and still
images other than the images recorded with
your camcorder. You also cannot play back
images recorded with other DCR-SR100.
On this manual
• The images of the LCD screen and the
viewfinder used on this manual are
captured using a digital still camera, and
thus may appear different from what you
see.
• Design and specifications of this camcorder
and accessories are subject to change
without notice.
• The on-screen displays in each local
language are used for illustrating the
operating procedures. Change the screen
language before using your camcorder if
necessary (p.64).
About the Carl Zeiss lens
Your camcorder is equipped with a Carl Zeiss
lens, which was developed jointly by Carl
Zeiss, in Germany, and Sony Corporation,
and produces superior images.
It adopts the MTF* measurement system for
video cameras and offers a quality typical of
a Carl Zeiss lens.
Also, the lens for your camcorder is T -
coated to suppress unwanted reflections and
faithfully reproduce colors.
* MTF stands for Modulation Transfer
Function. The number value indicates the
amount of light from a subject coming into
the lens.
