A menu item that is grayed out is not available
under the current recording or playback
conditions.
The LCD screen and viewfinder (HDR-
CX690E/CX700E/CX700VE) 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. 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-CX690E/CX700E/CX700VE) 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 language setting
The on-screen displays in each local language
are used for illustrating the operating
procedures. Change the screen language before
u
sing the camcorder if necessary (p. 17).
On recording
To ensure stable operation of the memory
card, it is recommended to format the memory
card with your camcorder before the first
use. formatting the memory card will erase
all the data stored on it and the data will be
irrecoverable. Save your important data on your
PC etc.
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, recording media, etc.
TV color systems differ depending on the
country/region. To view your recordings on a
TV, you need a PAL system-based TV.
