h Notes for Recording

If [FULL] appears on the display, you cannot record in the selected folder. In such a case, erase unnecessary files. If the recorder is placed directly on a table when recording a meeting, it tends to pick up table vibrations. Put a notebook or other item between the table and the recorder so that the vibration is not easily transmitted for clearer recording. Even if you press the DISP/MENU button, the display will not change to current recording time if the remaining recording time is 5 minutes or less. When remaining recording time is less than 60 seconds, the record/play indicator light starts flashing in red. When the recording time is decreased to 30 or 10 seconds, the light flashes faster. The recorder will enter Stop mode if it has been left paused for 60 minutes or longer. In case of difficult acoustic conditions or low speakers voice, recording in [HQ] is recommended. Also, usage of an external microphone (sold separately) could improve the quality of recordings.

LCD Monitor

Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may become vague, resulting in a playback mode failure or damage to the monitor. A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom of the monitor, but this is not a malfunction. When a subject is viewed diagonally in the camera, the edges may appear zigzagged on the monitor. This is not a malfunction; it will be less noticeable in playback mode. In places subject to low temperatures, the LCD monitor may take a long time to turn on or its color may change temporarily. When using the camera in extremely cold places, it is a good idea to occasionally place it in a warm place. An LCD monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures will recover in normal temperatures. The LCD used for the monitor is made with high-precision technology. However, black spots or bright spots of light may appear constantly on the LCD Monitor. Due to its characteristics or the angle at which you are viewing the monitor, the spot may not be uniform in color and brightness. This is not a malfunction.
