A menu item that is grayed out is not available under the current recording or playback conditions. The LCD screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology, so over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, there may be some tiny black points and/or bright points (white, red, blue, or green in color) that appear constantly on the LCD screen. These points are normal results of the manufacturing process and do not affect the recording in any way.

Operating Guide (1)

See page 17 for the memory card you can use with this camcorder.

Using the camcorder

Black points White, red, blue or green points
Do not hold the camcorder by the following parts, and also do not hold the camcorder by the jack covers.

LCD screen

Exposing the LCD screen or the lens to direct sunlight for long periods of time may cause malfunctions. Do not aim at the sun. Doing so might cause your camcorder to malfunction. Take images of the sun only in low light conditions, such as at dusk.
About changing the language setting

Battery pack

The on-screen displays in each local language are used for illustrating the operating procedures. Change the screen language before using your camcorder if necessary (p.15).

Recording

The camcorder is not dustproofed, dripproofed or waterproofed. See About handling of your camcorder (p.86).
When you use a memory card with your camcorder for the first time, formatting the memory card with your camcorder (p.66) is recommended for stable operation. All data recorded on the memory card will be deleted when it is formatted, and cannot be recovered. Save important data to your computer, etc., beforehand.
Before starting to record, test the recording function to make sure that the image and sound are recorded without any problems. Compensation for the contents of recordings cannot be provided, even if recording or playback is not possible due to a malfunction of the camcorder, storage media, etc. TV color systems differ depending on the country/region. To view your recordings on a TV, you need a PAL system-based TV. Television programs, films, video tapes, and other materials may be copyrighted. Unauthorized recording of such materials may be contrary to copyright laws.

Advice for successful recording
To get good results in recording
Stabilizing your camcorder
When you hold the camcorder, keep your upper body upright, and hold your arms close to your body. The SteadyShot function is effective against camera-shake, however, it is essential that you not move the camcorder.

Zooming smoothly

Zoom in and out slowly and smoothly. And, use zooming sparingly. Excessive zooming will make movies that may make the viewer feel tired when viewing them.
Evoking a feeling of spaciousness
Use the panning technique. Stabilize yourself, move your camcorder horizontally as you turn your upper body slowly. Stay still at the end of panning for a while to make the scene look stable.
Accentuating movies with narration
Consider the sound to be recorded with your movies. Narrate the subject, or talk to the subject during shooting. Aim for a balanced volume of voices, since the recording person is closer to the microphone than the recorded person.

Using accessories

Make good use of camcorder accessories. For example, using a tripod, you can make a time-lapse recording or record subjects in dim light, such as scenes of fireworks, or night views. By always carrying spare batteries, you can continue recording without worrying about battery power shortages.

Each recording time is measured when the [ REC MODE] is set to SP. Typical recording time shows the time when you repeat recording start/stop, switching the MODE lamp, and zooming. Times measured when using the camcorder at 25 C (77 F). 10 C to 30 C (50 F to 86 F) is recommended. The recording and playback time will be shorter when you use your camcorder in low temperatures. The recording and playback time will be shorter depending on the conditions under which you use your camcorder.
Tips You can record movies of a maximum of 9,999 scenes. The maximum continuous recording time of movies is approximately 13 hours. Your camcorder uses the VBR (Variable Bit Rate) format to automatically adjust image quality to suit the recording scene. This technology causes fluctuations in the recording time of the media. Movies containing quickly moving and complex images are recorded at a higher bit-rate, and this reduces the overall recording time.
