Recording Movies
Before You Begin Recording
Make a test recording first to check if the camcorder operates correctly. Since recordings made on a DVD-R or DVD-R DL disc cannot be deleted, we recommend you use a DVD-RW disc to make the test recordings.

When You Have Finished Recording:
-
Close the LCD panel.
-
Make sure that the DISC access lamp is off.
-
Remove the disc.
-
Turn off the camcorder.
- The process of recognizing a disc may take a moment. Wait until the camcorder finishes recognizing the disc before you start recording.
- When recording in bright places it may be difficult to use the LCD screen. In such case, use the viewfinder instead.
- When recording in very loud places (such as fireworks shows or concerts), sound may become distorted or it may not be recorded at the actual levels. This is not a malfunction.
- In order to save power when the camcorder is powered by a battery pack, the camcorder will automatically shut off if left without any operations for 5 minutes. Approximately 30 seconds before the camcorder shuts off, "AUTO POWER OFF" appears in the center of the screen. If the camcorder shuts off, move the power switch to <OFF> and then back to <ON> again.
- About the LCD and viewfinder screen: The screens are produced using extremely high-precision manufacturing techniques, with more than 99.99% of the pixels operating to specification. Less than 0.01% of the pixels may occasionally misfire or appear as black or green dots. This has no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a malfunction.
