Sony DCR-SX63 Operating Guide - Page 9

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 points White, red, blue or green points  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. About changing the 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. 19). Recording  When you use a memory card with your camcorder for the first time, formatting the memory card with your camcorder (p. 55) is recommended for stable operation. All data recorded on the memory card will be deleted when it is formatted, and cannot be recovered. Save important data to your computer, etc., beforehand.  Before starting to record, test the recording function to make sure that 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, storage media, etc.  TV color systems differ depending on the country/region. To view your recordings on a TV, you need an NTSC system-based TV.  Television programs, films, video tapes, and other materials may be copyrighted. Unauthorized recording of such materials may be contrary to copyright laws. Note on playback  Images recorded on your camcorder may not play correctly on other devices. Conversely, images recorded on other devices may not play correctly on this camcorder. Save all your recorded image data  To prevent your image data from being lost, save all your recorded images on external media periodically. It is recommended that you save the image data on a disc such as a DVD-R using your computer. Also, you can save your image data using a VCR or a DVD/HDD recorder, etc. (p. 45). Notes on battery pack/AC Adaptor  Be sure to remove the battery pack or the AC Adaptor after turning off the camcorder.  Disconnect the AC Adaptor from the camcorder, holding both the camcorder and the DC plug. Note on the camcorder/battery pack temperature  When the temperature of the camcorder or battery pack becomes extremely high or extremely low, you may not be able to record or play back on the camcorder, due to the protection features of the camcorder being activated in such situations. In this case, an indicator appears on the LCD screen. US
