4 Press START/STOP.

Your camcorder starts recording. To stop recording, press START/STOP again.

3 Open the LCD panel

while pressing OPEN. The picture appears on the LCD screen.
Viewfinder When the LCD panel is closed, use the viewfinder placing your eye against its eyecup. The picture in the viewfinder is black and white. Adjust the viewfinder lens to your eyesight (p. 23).
When you purchase your camcorder, the clock setting is set to off. If you want to record the date and time for a picture, set the clock setting before recording (p. 16).

90 When closing the LCD panel, set it vertically until it clicks, and swing it into the camcorder body. Note When using the LCD screen except in the mirror mode, the viewfinder automatically turns off. When you use the LCD screen outdoors in direct sunlight The LCD screen may be difficult to see. If this happens, we recommend that you record with the viewfinder. When you adjust angles of the LCD panel Be sure to open the LCD panel up to 90 degrees. Picture in the mirror mode The picture on the LCD screen is a mirror-image. However, the picture will be normal when recorded.
During recording in the mirror mode DATE and TIME on your camcorder do not work. Indicators in the mirror mode The STBY indicator appears as Xz and REC as z. Some of other indicators appear mirror-reversed and others are not displayed. The date appears mirror-reversed when the auto date function is working. However, the date will be normal when recorded.
Adjusting the brightness of the LCD screen
(1) In CAMERA mode, select LCD BRIGHT in in the menu settings (p. 69). (2) Turn the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial to adjust the brightness of the LCD screen.

After recording

(1) (2) (3) (4) Set the POWER switch to OFF (CHG). Close the LCD panel. Eject the cassette. Attach the lens cap.
After using your camcorder (CCD-TRV107/TRV308/TRV408/TRV608 only) Remove the battery pack from your camcorder to avoid turning on the built-in light accidentally.
Recording a picture Using the zoom feature
Move the power zoom lever a little for a slower zoom. Move it further for a faster zoom. Using the zoom function sparingly results in better-looking recordings. T side: for telephoto (subject appears closer) W side: for wide-angle (subject appears farther away)
To use zoom greater than 20 Zoom greater than 20 is performed digitally. To activate digital zoom, select the digital zoom power in D ZOOM in the menu settings. The digital zoom function is set to OFF as a default setting (p. 68). The picture quality deteriorates as the picture is processed digitally. The right side of the bar shows the digital zooming zone. The digital zooming zone appears when you select the digital zoom power in D ZOOM in the menu settings.
Notes on digital zoom Digital zoom starts to function when zoom exceeds 20. The picture quality deteriorates as you go toward the T side. When you shoot close to a subject If you cannot get a sharp focus, move the power zoom lever to the W side until the focus is sharp. You can shoot a subject that is at least about 80 cm (about 2 feet 5/8 in.) away from the lens surface in the telephoto position, or about 1 cm (about 1/2 in.) away in the wide-angle position.

Recording a picture To record pictures with the viewfinder Adjusting the viewfinder
If you record pictures with the LCD panel closed, check the picture with the viewfinder. Adjust the viewfinder lens to your eyesight so that the indicators in the viewfinder come into sharp focus.
Lift up the viewfinder and move the viewfinder lens adjustment lever.
Viewfinder backlight (CCD-TRV107/TRV308/TRV408/TRV608 only) You can change the brightness of the backlight. Select VF B.L. in the menu settings (p. 69).

On handling tapes

Do not insert anything into the small holes on the rear of the cassette. These holes are used to sense the type and thickness of the tape and if the recording tab is in or out.

Camcorder care

Remove the tape, and periodically turn on the power, operate the CAMERA and PLAYER sections and play back a tape for about 5 minutes when your camcorder is not to be used for a long time. Clean the lens with a soft brush to remove dust. If there are fingerprints on the lens, remove them with a soft cloth. Clean the camcorder body with a dry soft cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent which may damage the finish. Do not let sand get into your camcorder. When you use your camcorder on a sandy beach or in a dusty place, protect it from the sand or dust. Sand or dust may cause your camcorder to malfunction, and sometimes this malfunction cannot be repaired.

AC power adaptor

Unplug the unit from the wall outlet when you are not using the unit for a long time. To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the power cord itself. Do not operate the unit with a damaged cord or if the unit has been dropped or damaged. Do not bend the power cord forcibly, or place a heavy object on it. This will damage the cord and may cause fire or electrical shock. Prevent metallic objects from coming into contact with the metal parts of the connecting section. If this happens, a short may occur and the unit may be damaged. Always keep metal contacts clean. Do not disassemble the unit. Do not apply mechanical shock or drop the unit. While the unit is in use, particularly during charging, keep it away from AM receivers and video equipment. AM receivers and video equipment disturb AM reception and video operation. The unit becomes warm during use. This is not a malfunction. Do not place the unit in locations that are: Extremely hot or cold Dusty or dirty Very humid Vibrating
About care and storage of the lens
Wipe the surface of the lens with a soft cloth in the following instances: When there are fingerprints on the lens surface In hot or humid locations When the lens is used in environments susceptible to salt such as the seaside Store the lens in a well-ventilated location subject to little dirt or dust. To prevent mold from growing on the lens, periodically perform the above. We recommend turning on and operating your camcorder at least once per month to keep your camcorder in an optimum state for a long time.

Battery pack

Use only the specified charger or video equipment for the charging function. To prevent an accidental short circuit, do not allow metal objects to come into contact with the battery terminals. Keep the battery pack away from fire. Never expose the battery pack to temperatures above 60C (140F), such as in a car parked in the sun or under direct sunlight. Keep the battery pack dry. Do not expose the battery pack to any mechanical shock. Do not disassemble nor modify the battery pack. Attach the battery pack to the video equipment securely. Charging while some capacity remains does not affect the original battery capacity.

Note on dry batteries (CCD-TRV107/TRV408 only)
To avoid possible damage from battery leakage or corrosion, observe the following: Be sure to insert the batteries with the + polarities matched to the + marks Dry batteries are not rechargeable Do not use a combination of new and old batteries Do not use different types of batteries Current drains from batteries when you are not using them for a long time Do not use leaking batteries If batteries are leaking Wipe off the liquid in the battery compartment carefully before replacing the batteries. If you touch the liquid, wash it off with water. If the liquid get into your eyes, wash your eyes with a lot of water and then consult a doctor. If any problem occurs, unplug your camcorder and contact your nearest Sony dealer.

Notes on the Remote Commander Point the remote sensor away from strong light sources such as direct sunlight or overhead lighting. Otherwise, the Remote Commander may not function properly. Your camcorder works in the commander mode VTR 2. The commander modes 1, 2 and 3 are used to distinguish your camcorder from other Sony VCRs to avoid remote control unintentional operations. If you use another Sony VCR in the commander mode VTR 2, we recommend changing the commander mode or covering the sensor of the VCR with black paper.
