Sony NXCAM NEX-EA50UH Operating Manual page 3

On the temperature of your camcorder
and battery pack
Your camcorder has a protective function
that disables recording or playback if the
temperature of your camcorder or battery
pack is beyond the safely operable range. In
this case, a message appears on the LCD
screen (p. 115).
On recording
• In order to stabilize memory card
operation, it is recommended that you
format the memory card when you use it
with your camcorder for the first time. All
data recorded on the memory card will be
erased by formatting, and cannot be
recovered. Save important data on the
memory card on other media such as a
computer, before formatting the memory
card.
• Before starting to record, test the
recording function to make sure the
picture and sound are recorded without
any problems.
• Compensation for the loss of the content
of recordings or the loss of recording
opportunities cannot be provided, even if
recording or playback is not possible due
to a malfunction of the camcorder, storage
media, etc., or even if images or sounds
are distorted due to the limits of the
capabilities of the camcorder.
• TV color systems differ depending on the
countries/regions. To view your
recordings on a TV, you need to set [60i/
50i SEL] in accordance with the country/
region.
• Television programs, films, video tapes,
and other materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized recording of such materials
may be contrary to the copyright laws.
• Because of the way that the image device
(CMOS sensor) reads out image signals,
the following phenomena may occur.
– The subjects passing by the frame rapidly
might appear crooked depending on the
recording conditions. (This phenomenon may
be notable in displays having high motion
resolution.)
– Horizontal lines appear on the LCD screen
during recording under fluorescent lights,
sodium lamps or mercury lamps. The
phenomena can be reduced by adjusting the
shutter speed (p. 47).
DVD media recorded with high
definition image quality (HD)
DVD media recorded with high definition
image quality (HD) can be played back
with devices that are compatible with the
AVCHD format. You cannot play discs
recorded with high definition image quality
(HD) with DVD players/recorders as they
are not compatible with the AVCHD
format. If you insert a disc recorded with
the AVCHD format (high definition image
quality (HD)) into a DVD player/recorder,
you may not be able to eject the disc.
Save all your recorded image data
• To prevent your image data from being
lost, save all your recorded images on
external media periodically. To save
images on an external device, see page
104.
• Movies recorded with the recording mode
set to PS or FX on [
