Maximum Continuous Recording Time
≥"10min." indicates 10 minutes.
The times listed in the above chart are approximations. The
charging times are for normal ambient temperature
(20oC/60% relative humidity); charging times may be longer
at higher or lower temperatures.
The recording times are for recording with the Finder.
ª Inserting/Removing the Cassette
≥In the case of using a previously recorded Cassette, you
can use the Camera Search Function to find the position
where you want to continue recording.
≥If a new Cassette is inserted, rewind to the beginning of the
tape before starting recording.
≥When inserting the cassette, make sure it faces in the right
direction and then push it in until it stops.
≥When the Cassette Holder is in action, do not touch
anything except the [PUSH CLOSE] Button.
≥When closing the Cassette Compartment Cover, do not get
anything caught in the cover, such as a cable of an optional
stereo microphone.
ª Alarm Sounds
When [BEEP SOUND] on the [OTHER FUNCTIONS]
Sub-Menu on the [CAMERA FUNCTIONS] Main-Menu is set
to [ON], confirmation/alarm beeps are issued as follows.
1 Beep
≥When you start recording
≥When you switch the [OFF/ON/MODE] Switch from [OFF]
to [ON]
2 Beeps
≥When you pause recording
2 Beeps for 4 times
≥If you perform a wrong operation before or during recording
ª Recording Check
≥For Recording Check, the recording speed mode (SP/LP)
must be the same as the mode used for the recording. If
different, playback images will be distorted.
ª Camera Search
≥In Camera Search Mode, images may contain
mosaic-pattern noise. This is a phenomenon that is
characteristic of digital video and not a malfunction.
≥If the recording speed modes (SP/LP) of previous recording
and new recording are different, playback images may be
distorted.
ª Frame Moving Pictures (Frame Mode)
≥It is not possible to use the digital modes of [EFFECT1].

ª Progressive Photoshot Function
≥The still pictures are recorded at a slightly rewound point
from where you press the [PHOTO SHOT] Button.
≥When you change to the Still Picture Mode, you will hear a
click. This is the sound of the iris closing and not an
indication of malfunction.
≥If you record still pictures in Progressive Photoshot Mode
when your Movie Camera is set to Programme AE (
the brightness of the images may change.
≥Using the Colour Night View Function cancels the
Progressive Photoshot Function.
≥The [æ] Indication flashes and you cannot use the
Progressive Photoshot Function when [FLASH] is set to
[ON] and [PROGRESSIVE] is set to [AUTO] and the
surrounding luminousity is not enough.
≥The [æ] Indication may flash if the iris is adjusted manually
to the Gain-up value (that is [OPEN 0dB] to [18dB]), when
[PROGRESSIVE] is set to [AUTO].
About [PROGRESSIVE] Setup
≥When the [æ] Indication is displayed, you can use the
Progressive Photoshot Function.
When [PROGRESSIVE] is [ON]:
You can use the Progressive Photoshot Function at any
time. In this case, however, the following functions are
disabled.
≥Digital Effect Modes in [EFFECT1]
≥Digital Zoom [D.ZOOM]
≥1/750 s or faster shutter speed
≥Frame Mode

When [PROGRESSIVE] is set to [AUTO]
You cannot use the Progressive Photoshot Function in the
following cases.
≥When the zoom magnification is approximately 10k or
higher
≥When the shutter speed is 1/750 s or faster
≥When [EFFECT1] is set to [WIPE], [MIX], [STROBE],
[GAINUP], [TRACER], [MOSAIC], [MIRROR]
≥When the pictures are displayed on a Multi screen
≥When the [REC MODE] is set to [FRAME]
≥When the [ASPECT] is set to [16:9]
ª Zoom In/Out Functions
≥When you are zooming on a faraway subject, a sharper
focus is achieved if the recording subject is 1.2 metres or
more away from the Movie Camera.
ª Zoom Microphone Function
≥The Zoom Microphone Function may not work effectively if
the surrounding noise is too loud.
ª Digital Zoom Functions
≥As the magnification of digital zoom increases, the quality
of image may deteriorate.
≥White balance cannot be set in the digital zoom range.
ª Image Stabilizer Function
≥The Image Stabilizer Function does not operate in a dimly
lit place. In this case, the [[] Indication flashes.
≥Under fluorescent lighting, image brightness may change
or colours may not look natural.
≥After-images may appear.
≥When a tripod is used, it is recommended that you turn the
Image Stabilizer off.
≥If [TAPE/CARD/CARD MODE] Selector is set to [TAPE],
[MEGA OIS] cannot be set.
≥If the [MPEG4] or [VOICE] Indication is displayed,
[MEGA OIS] cannot be set.
