The LCD Screen may appear black or blank if viewed while wearing "polarized" sunglasses. Polarizing lenses work by filtering out horizontal light that causes glare. This can also cut the light being shown thru the LCD of the camera.
To protect your recordings from accidental erasure, slide the tab on the cassette to the left. (This switch position is usually labeled SAVE or ERASE OFF.)
Inserting/Removing a Memory Card You can use SD memory cards or commercially available MultiMediaCards (MMC) with this camcorder. The SD memory card has a protect switch to prevent accidental erasure.
Adjusting the Focus When recording under bright conditions, the camcorder sets a small aperture value, and the picture may appear blurred. This may be more noticeable at wide-angle. When you are using a lens with built-in ND filter , turn it on/off according to the screen display.
(Playback Pause) The picture may become distorted during some special playback modes. The camcorder stops the tape automatically after 3 minutes in playback pause mode to protect tape and video heads. In fast forward playback, rewind playback and reverse playback of a tape recorded in HDV mode, the picture may be distorted.
