About menu items, LCD panel and lens • A menu item that is grayed out is not available under the current recording or playback conditions. • The LCD screen is 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 point White, red, blue or green point • Exposing the LCD screen 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. On recording • 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 countries/regions. 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. • You cannot play back both movies and still images other than the images recorded with your camcorder. You also cannot play back images recorded with other DCR-SR42/SR62/SR82/SR200/ SR300. About language setting The on-screen displays in each local language are used for illustrating the operating procedures. Change the screen language before using your camcorder if necessary (p. 18). About this Handbook • The LCD screens and indicators shown in this Handbook were taken with a digital still camera, and may look different from what you actually see. • Design and specifications of recording media and other accessories are subject to change without notice. • Unless otherwise specially indicated, illustrations in this Handbook are based on DCR-SR300. About the Carl Zeiss lens Your camcorder is equipped with a Carl Zeiss lens, which was developed jointly by Carl Zeiss, in Germany, and Sony Corporation, and produces superior images. It adopts the MTF measurement system for video cameras and offers a quality typical of a Carl Zeiss lens. Also, the lens for DCR-SR200/SR300 is T -coated to suppress unwanted reflections, then faithfully reproduce colors. MTF = Modulation Transfer Function. The number value indicates the amount of light from a subject coming into the lens. 3
