Your camcorder records movies on memory cards. The factory setting for recording is
AVCHD.
Check that the memory cards are inserted correctly, and press the START/STOP button
(handle record button) to start recording.
The recording lamps light up during recording.
To stop recording, press the START/STOP button (handle record button) again.
b Notes
• 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 DV or AVCHD format, the camcorder automatically
divides the file and creates a new one.
• When recording in XAVC S HD, recording stops automatically when the recorded file reaches 13 hours
duration.
• The menu settings, the picture profile settings, and the settings made by the AUTO/MANUAL switch are
stored when you slide the ON/STANDBY switch to STANDBY (1). The access lamp is lit while the
settings are being saved. If you remove the battery pack or the AC Adaptor before turning off the power,
the settings may return to the default settings.
z Tips
• When recording with a setting other than DV, the aspect ratio is fixed to 16:9. When recording in DV
mode, you can switch the aspect ratio to 4:3 ([
