Aboutmenuitems,LCDpanel,
viewfinder,andlens
• A menu item that is grayed out is not
available under tile 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 effective. 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 results of the manufacturing
process and do not affect the recording in
any way.
green points
• Exposing the LCD screen, the viewfinder,
or the lens to direct sunlight for long
periods of time may cause malfunctions.
• 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.
Onrecording
• Before starting to record, test tile
recording function to make sure the image
and sound are recorded without any
problems.
