Basic shooting is conducted using the following
procedure.

Attach the necessary devices, and check
that power is being supplied.

Load the memory card(s).
If you load two memory cards in memory
card slots A and B, recording is continued by
automatically switching to the second card
when the first card becomes full.
3
Set the ON/STANDBY switch to the ON
position.
The recording screen is displayed on the
LCD/viewfinder screen.

Press the grip or handle record button
(page 9).
The recording/tally lamp lights and recording
begins.
5
To stop recording, press the record
button again.
Recording stops, and the camcorder switches
to STBY (standby) mode.
Shooting (Full Auto Mode)
Press the FULL AUTO button, turning the
button indicator on.
Full Auto mode is turned on, Auto Exposure
(page 92) is activated, and Auto ND Filter, Auto
Iris, AGC (Auto Gain Control), Auto Shutter, and
ATW (Auto Tracing White balance) are set to On.
Then, the brightness and white balance are
automatically adjusted.
When you wish to adjust them manually, turn Full
Auto mode off.
Continuous recording on the memory
cards (Relay Rec)
When memory cards are inserted in both slots A
and B, recording automatically switches to the
second memory card just before the remaining
capacity on the first card is reduced to zero.
You can continue recording continuously when
switching memory cards by replacing the
memory card that is full with a new memory card.
Notes
• Do not eject a memory card while recording to it is in
progress. Remove only the memory card in the slot
whose access lamp is turned off during recording.
• If a recordable memory card is loaded into the other
slot when the remaining time of the memory card that
is recording is less than 1 minute, the message "Will
Switch Slots Soon" is displayed. The message
disappears after switching memory card slots.
• The relay recording function may not work if you start
recording when the remaining time of the memory card
is less than 1 minute. To perform the relay recording
properly, make sure that the remaining time of the
memory card is more than 1 minute.
• Video created using the camcorder relay recording
function cannot be played back seamlessly on the
camcorder.
• To combine video created using the camcorder relay
recording function, use Content Browser software.
Check the operating environment for Content Browser
before use.
• Use the same type of SD cards for relay recording
using SD cards.
