Recording 35 Basic Functions 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 ( 50). 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. When using a tripod: Do not leave the viewfinder exposed to direct sunlight as it may melt (due to concentration of the light by the lens). Do not use tripods with fastening screws longer than 5.5 mm (0.2 inch). Doing so may damage the camcorder. When recording movies, try to get a calm, stable picture. Excessive camcorder movement while shooting and extensive use of fast zooms and panning can result in fidgety, jittery scenes. In extreme cases, the playback of such scenes may result in visually induced motion sickness. If you experience such a reaction, immediately stop the playback and take a rest break as necessary. When the mode switch is set to AUTO, only one joystick guide will appear. • The camcorder plays back the last scene (but without sound) and returns to record pause mode. • While reviewing the scene, select ( ) the icon and press ( ) to return to the recording mode. • If you are using a DVD-RW disc, you can also delete the scene immediately after recording it.
