Basic Procedure for Shooting
Chapter 3 Recording and Playback
If the salvage succeeded, the message
“COMPLETED.” appears.
If the salvage failed, the message
“INCOMPLETED.” appears. Clips for which
recording did not end normally are lost.
To exit without salvaging
Select NO in step 2 to exit without performing salvage
processing.
However, the status of the disc does not change.
Salvage is still required to recover the clips for which
recording did not end normally. The salvage message
will appear again when that disc is inserted again, or
when the camcorder is powered on again.
If salvage processing is not done, sections which were
recorded normally can be played back, but no new
recording can be done on the disc.
Basic Procedure for
Shooting
1
Set the POWER switch to ON.
2
Set the FILTER selector and the 5600K button
appropriately for the lighting conditions.
a) The range over which the subject is sharply in focus. Thus, “reducing
the depth of field” means that the range is reduced as well, and
“increasing the depth of field” means that it is increasing as well.
3
Check the switch settings on the camcorder.
If you do not have enough time to check the settings of
the unit, you can turn the EZ MODE-assigned switch
on to use EZ mode for instant shooting.
EZ mode
In EZ mode, the settings of this unit are fixed at
standard values, and the lens aperture and white
balance are adjusted automatically. In this state, it is
not possible to change menu or other settings. To
change settings, turn EZ mode off. In the factory
default configuration, the ASSIGN 1 switch (see page
13) turns EZ mode on and off.
4
Check the settings in the menu.
