Menu items, LCD panel, viewfinder and
lens
A menu item that is grayed out is not available

under the current recording or playback
conditions.
The LCD screen and viewfinder are

manufactured using extremely high-precision
technology, so over 99.99% of the pixels are
operational for effective use. However, there
may be some tiny black points and/or bright
points (white, red, blue, or green in color) that
appear constantly on the LCD screen. These
points are normal results of the manufacturing
process and do not affect the recording in any
way.
Black points
White, red, blue or green points
Exposing the LCD screen, the viewfinder or the

lens to direct sunlight for long periods of time
may cause malfunctions.
Do not aim at the sun. Doing so might cause

your camcorder to malfunction. Take images
of the sun only in low light conditions, such as
at dusk.

About language setting

The on-screen displays in each local language

are used for illustrating the operating
procedures. Change the screen language before
using the camcorder if necessary (p. 22).

On recording

To ensure stable operation of the memory

card, it is recommended to format the memory
card with your camcorder before the first use
(p. 58). Formatting the memory card will erase
all the data stored on it and the data will be
irrecoverable. Save your important data on your
PC etc.
Before starting to record, test the recording

function to make sure the image and sound are
recorded without any problems.
Compensation for the contents of recordings

cannot be provided, even if recording or
playback is not possible due to a malfunction of
the camcorder, recording media, etc.
TV color systems differ depending on the

country/region. To view your recordings on a
TV, you need a NTSC system-based TV.
Television programs, films, video tapes,

and other materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized recording of such materials may
be contrary to the copyright laws.
Use the camcorder in accordance with local

regulations.
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 screen during

recording under fluorescent lights. The
phenomena can be reduced by adjusting the
shutter speed (p. 50).
Images on the screen look horizontally

divided when a subject is lighted with a flash.
The phenomena can be reduced by using a
slower shutter speed.
Notes on playing back
You may not be able to play back normally

images recorded on your camcorder with other
devices. Also, you may not be able to play back
images recorded on other devices with your
camcorder.
Standard (STD) image quality movies recorded

on SD memory cards cannot be played on AV
equipment of other manufacturers.
