Avoid the following actions while the DISC
access indicator is on or flashing. Failing to do
so may result in permanent data loss.
- Do not subject the camcorder to vibrations or
strong impacts.
- Do not open the disc cover and do not remove
the disc.
- Do not disconnect the power source or turn off
the camcorder.
- Do not change the operating mode.
• About the recording time: By changing the
recording mode you can change the recording
time available on the disc
(CO
36).
• When recording in bright places it may be
difficult to use the LCD screen. In such case,
use the viewfinder instead.
• When recording in very loud places (such as
fireworks shows or concerts), sound may
become distorted or it may not be recorded at
the actual levels. This is not a malfunction.
• About the Power Save mode: To save power
when the camcorder is powered by a battery
pack, the camcorder will automatically shut off if
left without any operations for 5 minutes
(CO
41). To restore the power, slide the power
switch toward MODE and release it, or move
the power switch to _ and back to ON
again.
• About the LCD and viewfinder screen: The
screens are produced using extremely high-
precision manufacturing techniques, with more
than 99.99% of the pixels operating to
specification. Less than 0.01
%
of the pixels
may occasionally misfire or appear as black,
red, blue or green dots. This has no effect on
the recorded image and does not constitute a
malfunction.
