format, you can switch the aspect ratio to 4:3 ([DV WIDE REC], p. 86).
• You can change the screen display during recording (p. 54).
• Indicators displayed on the screen during recording are shown on page 140.
• The recording lamp can be set to stay off ([REC LAMP[F]], [REC LAMP[R]], p. 94).
• You cannot record movies on a "Memory Stick Duo."
• For low angle recording, the REC START/STOP button on the handle is convenient. Release the
HOLD lever to enable the REC START/STOP button. It might be helpful if you set the LCD panel
face up or close it after turning it face down, or lift the viewfinder up during the low angle recording.
