The top, bottom, right, and left edges
of images are trimmed slightly on a
connected TV.
The LCD screen of your camcorder can
display recording images across the entire
screen (full pixel display). However, this may
cause slight trimming of the top, bottom, right,
and left edges of images when played back on
a TV which is not compatible with full pixel
display.
It is recommended you record images using
t
he outer frame of [GUIDEFRAME](p. 78) as

GPS
The camcorder is not receiving a GPS
signal (HDR-XR500V/XR520V).
Your camcorder may not be able to receive
radio signals from GPS satellites because of
obstructions. Bring your camcorder to an
open area, and set the GPS switch to ON
again.
The current location on the map of the
camcorder is different from the actual
current location (HDR-XR500V/XR520V).
The margin of error of the radio signal from
GPS satellites is large. The margin of error can
be as wide as several-hundred meters at the
maximum.
