Recording 29 Basic Functions NOTES About the recording time: By changing the recording mode you can change the video quality and as a result, also the available recording time ( 40). Previous recordings overwritten by a new recording cannot be recovered. Before you start recording, search for the end of the last recording ( 34). To protect the tape and video heads, the camcorder will enter the stop mode ( ) if left in record pause ( ) mode for 4 minutes 30 seconds. To resume recording press Start/Stop . 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 ( 43). To restore the power, turn the camcorder off and then on again. About the LCD and viewfinder screen: The screens are produced using extremely highprecision 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.
