About menu items, LCD panel,
viewfinder (HDR-SR7/SR8), and lens
• A menu item that is grayed out is not
available under the current recording or
playback conditions.
• The viewfinder (HDR-SR7/SR8) and the
LCD screen 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 in the viewfinder
(HDR-SR7/SR8) and on the LCD screen.
These points are normal results of the
manufacturing process and do not affect
the recording in any way.
• Exposing the LCD screen, the viewfinder
(HDR-SR7/SR8), 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.
About changing the language setting
• 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. 21).
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, storage
media, etc.
• TV color systems differ depending on the
country/region. To view your recordings
on a TV, you need an 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.
