NOTES About the recording time: By changing the recording mode you can change the recording time available on the disc ( 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 ( 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.
