Using the Camcorder to Record Movies on the Memory Card
|
- Do not turn off the camcorder, change the position of the TAPE/CARD switch, disconnect the power source, open the memory card cover or remove the memory card while the card access indicator is flashing. Doing so could result in data damage.
- Do not load/unload a cassette during recording.

|
- Sound for movies recorded on the memory card will be monaural.
- We recommend using a miniSD Card with a transfer rate of more than 2 MB/sec., right after you have formatted it with this camcorder. With memory cards not formatted with this camcorder, or when recording/erasing has been repeatedly performed, the writing speed may be lower and recording may stop.
- When powered by a battery pack, the camcorder shuts off after 5 minutes when the camcorder is left without any operation to save power. Approximately 30 seconds before the camcorder shuts off, "
 AUTO POWER OFF" appears in the center of the screen. If the camcorder shuts off, turn the POWER switch to OFF and back on again.
