Others ≥When you rotate the Mode Dial or remove the battery, Quick Start Recording Lamp is turned off and Quick Start Mode is canceled. However, if the Camcorder is turned on and the Tape/Card Recording Mode is set, the Lamp turns on and Quick Start Mode is restored. ≥If the [QUICK START] Button is pressed and held for approximately 2 seconds during the Quick Start Standby Mode, the Lamp will go off and the Camcorder will be completely turned off. ≥If the Camcorder is not operated for approximately 30 minutes when the Quick Start Recording Lamp lights, the Lamp will go off and the Camcorder will be completely turned off. ≥In the Automatic White Balance Mode, the color may be recorded unnaturally at the beginning of the recording. ≥The zoom magnification differs from when it is in the Quick Start Standby Mode and when the recording starts. ª Self-timer Recording ≥When [BEEP SOUND] on the [INITIAL] Sub-Menu is set to [ON], the beep sound will be emitted along with Recording Lamp flashing in the Self-timer Standby Mode. ≥By operating the [OFF/ON] Switch, Mode Dial or Recording Start/Stop Button, the Self-timer Standby Mode is cancelled. ≥In the Card Recording Mode, the [PHOTO SHOT] Button does not work even if it is pressed halfway. However, the subject is focused in the Focus Area. ª Zoom In/Out Functions ≥When you are zooming in on a faraway subject, a sharper focus is achieved if the recording subject is 4 feet (1.2 meters) or further from the Camcorder. ≥When the MagicPix Functions are activated or the Shutter speed is set to 1/15 or lower, the zoom operation with the Multi Manual Ring is disabled. ª Tele-Macro Function ≥The Tele-Macro Function cannot be started during recording. ≥When the [D.ZOOM] is set to [30k] or [700k], the Tele-Macro Function with a magnification greater than 12k is available. ≥If a sharper focus cannot be achieved, adjust the focus manually. In the following cases, the Tele-Macro Function is cancelled. ≥The zoom magnification becomes lower than 12k. ≥Setting the [OFF/ON] Switch to [OFF]. ª Zoom Microphone Function ≥The Zoom Microphone Function may not work effectively if the surrounding noise is too loud. ≥Does not work with an external microphone. ª Digital Zoom Function ≥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 ≥When you press the [PHOTO SHOT] Button halfway in the Card Recording Mode, the Image Stabilizer Function works more effective. ([ MEGA EIS] Indication appears.) ≥When a tripod is used, it is recommended that you turn the Image Stabilizer off. ≥Within the digital zoom range, or when recording with a conversion lens (not supplied) attached, the Image Stabilizer Function may not work effectively. ª Backlight Compensation Function ≥When setting the Iris manually, the Backlight Compensation Function does not work. ≥By operating the [OFF/ON] Switch, the Backlight Compensation Function is cancelled. ª MagicPix Functions ≥In a bright place, such as outdoors, the recorded picture may become whitish. ≥In a dark place, the recorded picture is presented in a time-lapse-like manner. ≥Adjust the Focus manually. ≥The Progressive Photoshot Function is automatically turned off. ≥In the Card Recording Mode, using the MagicPix Functions is not possible. ≥When the [PICTURE SIZE] is set to [1280k960] in the Tape Recording Mode, the Photoshot recording is disabled. ≥When using the MagicPix Functions, you cannot use the Built-in Flash. ≥The shutter speed cannot be adjusted. ≥The Program AE or Digital Effect Modes in [EFFECT1] cannot be set. ≥When recording with the MagicPix Functions, it is recommended that you use a tripod. ≥The MagicPix Functions make the signal charging time of CCD longer up to 16 times longer than usual, so that the dark scenes that are invisible to the naked eyes can be recorded brightly. For this reason, bright dots may be seen, but this is not a malfunction. ≥The White Balance setting, the Soft Skin Function and the Backlight Compensation Function cannot be changed. 76
