b Notes
• When [AUTO] is selected in the [MIC SELECT] menu and the XLR handle unit is connected to the
camcorder without a microphone attached to the INPUT1 and INPUT2 jacks, the internal microphone is
not selected and no audio is recorded. In this case, select [INT MIC] (p. 51).
• To record in MPEG HD, "CBKZ-SLMP" (sold separately) is required (p. 42).
• If the file format is XAVC QFHD and [QFHD REC OUTPUT] is switched to [EXTERNAL OUTPUT],
then [NIGHTSHOT LIGHT] is set to [OFF]. For more information, see "Selecting jacks for external
output" (p. 70).
• If recording in XAVC QFHD is started with [QFHD REC OUTPUT] set to [EXTERNAL OUTPUT],
then [LCD BRIGHT] is set to [NORMAL].
• If the file format is AVCHD, MPEG HD, or XAVC HD and [SIMUL/RELAY REC] is switched to
[SIMULTANEOUS REC], then [NIGHTSHOT LIGHT] is set to [OFF].
• If the file format is AVCHD, MPEG HD, or XAVC HD and [OUTPUT SELECT] is switched to [SDI],
then [NIGHTSHOT LIGHT] is set to [OFF].
• If the file format is XAVC QFHD and streaming is started, then [QFHD REC OUTPUT] is set to [VF/
LCD PANEL], [NIGHTSHOT LIGHT] is set to [OFF], and [LCD BRIGHT] is set to [NORMAL] while
streaming.
• If the file format is AVCHD, MPEG HD, or XAVC HD and streaming is started, then [NIGHTSHOT
LIGHT] is set to [OFF] and [LCD BRIGHT] is set to [NORMAL] while streaming.
• When the access lamp is lit or flashing in red, your camcorder is reading or writing data. Do not shake or
apply strong force to your camcorder, do not turn the power off, and do not remove the memory card,
battery pack or the AC Adaptor. The image data may be destroyed.
• If a movie file size exceeds 2 GB while recording in AVCHD format, the camcorder automatically divides
the file and creates a new one.
• The maximum continuous recording time is 6 hours for MPEG HD and XAVC (HD/QFHD), and 13
hours for AVCHD. For relay recording, the maximum time for MPEG HD and XAVC (HD/QFHD) is
also 13 hours. Recording stops automatically when the maximum recording time elapses.
• The menu settings, picture profile settings, and settings made using the AUTO/MANUAL switch are
saved when you close the LCD screen and turn off the camcorder. The POWER/CHG lamp flashes while
the settings are being stored. If you remove the battery or disconnect the AC Adaptor with the power
turned on without closing the LCD screen, interrupting the power, the settings will not be saved.
