Remove the battery pack from the camcorder if you will not use the camcorder for a long period of time. Make sure that the battery pack is firmly attached during operation. If it is not, the battery pack may come off or camcorder operation may fail because of the poor contact pressure. To prevent damage to the battery pack when removing, be sure to firmly hold the battery pack while pressing the release. Use only SHARP model BT-L226 battery packs with this camcorder. Use of other batteries may create a risk of fire or explosion. Before closing the LCD monitor, make sure the battery pack is properly attached to the camcorder, otherwise the monitor may be damaged.

About PRINT Image Matching L
This product supports PRINT Image Matching K. When used in combination, PRINT Image Matching K enabled digital still cameras, printers and software, help photographers to produce images more faithful to their intentions. PRINT Image Matching is a trademark of Seiko Epson Corporation.
Avoid backlit subjects. For the best picture, shoot with the light source behind you. When the background is brighter than the subject, the subject often becomes too dark. If you have to record in this lighting, use Backlight Compensation or correct the iris value to improve the picture (see pages 34 and 55).

Light from behind

Before zooming, think about how to best frame the shot. Frequent zooming produces unattractive pictures. It also runs down the battery more quickly. When image shaking is noticeable during zoomed-in telephoto shooting, use a tripod or push the Power Zoom control to the W side to zoom out.

Mini DV Cassette
To protect recordings against accidental erasure
Slide the protect tab on the rear of the Mini DV cassette to the SAVE position.
Precautions when using a Mini DV cassette
Be sure to use only Mini DV cassettes with the i mark. This camcorder can record and play back using Mini DV cassettes with cassette memory, but it cannot record or play back this memory. To record in LP mode, use a Mini DV cassette labelled for use with LP mode. Do not insert anything into the holes on the bottom of the Mini DV cassette or block them in any way. Avoid placing the Mini DV cassette in areas conducive to dust or mold. Do not place the Mini DV cassette near magnetic sources such as electric clocks or magnetic devices as this may adversely affect recorded material. When a previously recorded Mini DV cassette is used again for recording, the previously recorded material will be automatically erased. The Mini DV cassette will not operate if inserted in the wrong direction. Do not repeatedly insert and eject the Mini DV cassette without running the tape as this may cause uneven tape winding and damage the tape. Do not place the Mini DV cassette in direct sunlight, near strong heat sources, or in areas with excessive steam. Store the Mini DV cassette in its case and stand it in an upright position. If the tape is not properly wound, rewind the tape. Do not drop the Mini DV cassette or subject it to excessive shocks. To record over a previously recorded tape, slide the protect tab to the REC position.

Copyright Protection

The digital VCR has far superior recording and playback ability than the traditional analog VCR, and in order to protect digital video software copyrights, a system for managing copyrights has been established. Some digital video recording with prerecorded copyright protection signals can still be played back on this camcorder. If you play a digital video recording that has a copyright protection signal on video equipment with a DV terminal and attempt to record a copy of that software on this camcorder, COPYRIGHT PROTECTED. appears on the screen and the recording is disabled. This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by method claims of certain U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights owners. Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and is intended for home and other limited viewing uses only unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision Corporation. Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.
