Notes & Precautions ª Power-Related Items (l 12) ≥When the Palmcorder is used for a long time, the Camera body becomes warm, but this is not a malfunction. ≥If the [CHARGE] Lamp does not light up, although the Battery is attached, detach the Battery, and reattach it. ª Inserting/Ejecting the Cassette (l 13) ≥In the case of using a previously recorded Cassette, you can use the Camera Search Function to find the position where you want to continue recording. ≥If a new Cassette is inserted, rewind to the beginning of the tape before starting to record. If the Cassette Holder Does Not Go Back in: ≥Press the [PUSH TO CLOSE] mark and close the Upper Cassette Compartment Cover firmly. ≥Turn off the Palmcorder and then turn it on again. ≥Check if the Battery charge is low. If the Cassette Holder Does Not Come Out: ≥Close the Lower Cassette Compartment Cover completely. Then, open it again. ≥Check if the Battery is weak. ª Alarm Sounds When [BEEP] on the [OTHER FUNCTIONS] Sub-Menu on the [CAMERA FUNCTIONS] Main-Menu is set to [ON], confirmation/alarm beeps are issued as follows. 1 Beep ≥When you start recording ≥When you switch the [OFF/ON/MODE] Switch from [OFF] to [ON] 2 Beeps ≥When you pause recording 10 Beeps ≥If you perform a wrong operation before or during recording ª Recording (l 20) ≥Before turning on the Palmcorder, remove the Lens Cap. If the lens cap is still attached when the Palmcorder is turned on, Automatic White Balance Adjustment may not function correctly. ª Recording Check (l 20) ≥For recording check, the Palmcorder must be the same as the recording speed Modes (SP/LP) used for the recording. Otherwise the playback images will be distorted. ª Camera Search (l 20) ≥In Camera Search Mode, images may contain mosaic-like noise patterns. This is a phenomenon that is characteristic of digital video and not a malfunction. ≥If the recording speed Modes (SP/LP) of previous recording and new recording are different, playback images may be distorted. ª Progressive PhotoShotTM Mode (l 21) ≥When you change to the still picture Mode, you will hear a click. This is the sound of the iris closing and not an indication of malfunction. ≥If you record still pictures in Progressive PhotoShotTM Mode when your Palmcorder is set to Program AE, the brightness of the images may vary. About [PROGRESSIVE] Setting ≥When the [æ] Indication is displayed, you can use the Progressive PhotoShot Function. When [PROGRESSIVE] is set to [ON]: You can use the Progressive PhotoShot Function at any time. In this case, however, the following functions are disabled. ≥[EFFECT1] Digital Effect Modes ≥Digital Zoom [D.ZOOM] ≥1/750 or faster shutter speed ≥Continuous PhotoShot Function ≥[REC MODE] on the [CAMERA SETUP] Sub-Menu is set to [NORMAL] ([FRAME] is not available) When [PROGRESSIVE] is set to [AUTO] You cannot use the Progressive PhotoShot Function in the following circumstances. ≥When the zoom magnification is approximately 10k or higher ≥When the shutter speed is 1/750 or faster ≥When [EFFECT1] is set to [WIPE], [MIX], [STROBE], [MAGICPIX], [TRAIL], [MOSAIC], [MIRROR] ≥When the pictures are displayed on a Multi Screen or P-IN-P screen ≥Continuous PhotoShot Function ª Zoom In/Out Functions (l 21, 22) ≥By pressing the [W/T] zoom lever to [W] or to [T] in Recording Pause Mode, you can zoom 1-10k at the maximum speed of 0.3 seconds. ≥During recording, you can zoom 1-10k in as short a time as approximately 0.8 seconds. ≥During considerably fast zooming, the image may become out of focus temporarily. ≥When you are using a high amount of zoom, a sharper focus is achieved if the recording subject is approximately 4 feet (1.2 m) or more away from the Palmcorder. ª Digital Electronic Image Stabilizer Function (l 22) ≥Under conditions of dim lighting, the Electronic Image Stabilizer Function will not operate correctly. In such a case, the [EIS] Indication will flash. ≥Under fluorescent lighting, image brightness may change or colors may not look natural. ≥After-images may appear. ≥We recommend that you turn off the Image Stabilizer function when a Tripod is in use. ≥By setting [EFFECT1] on the [DIGITAL EFFECT] Sub- Menu to [MAGICPIX], you can disable the Image Stabilizer function. ≥When mega-pixel recording is set, the Image Stabilizer Function cannot be used. ª Fade In/Out Mode (l 22) ≥Fading-in and fading-out cannot be used when recording still pictures in the PhotoShot Mode, Digital Still picture Mode, Multi-Picture Mode, and for the small still picture in the Picture-in-Picture Mode. 60
