Using this manual
Camcorder care
LCD screen/finder
The LCD screen and the finder are 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 and the finder.
These points are normal in the manufacturing process and do not affect the
recording in any way.
Disc compatibility with other players
Discs recorded on your camcorder must be finalized to play with other players. For
details on how to finalize a disc, see "Finalizing a disc" (page 63).
Discs recorded in VIDEO mode
You must finalize a disc after all the recording is finished. You cannot record again on a
disc recorded in VIDEO mode once you finalize it. On DVD-RW, you can record again
by unfinalizing it.
Compatible players: DVD players
Discs recorded in VR mode
Only DVD-RWs can be recorded in VR mode. Finalizing is required only when other
DVD-RW compatible players cannot play the disc. You can record again with your
camcorder on a finalized disc recorded in VR mode.
Compatible players: DVD players that can play back DVD-RWs in VR mode
Note
You may not be able to play certain finalized discs, depending on the disc and the
players.
