Read this first (continued) • Before connecting your camcorder to another device with a USB cable etc., be sure to insert the connector plug in the proper direction. If you insert the connector plug forcibly in the wrong direction, the terminal may be damaged, or this may cause a malfunction of your camcorder. Notes on the Setup items, LCD screen and lens • A setup 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. • Exposing the LCD screen or the lens to direct sunlight for long periods of time may cause malfunctions. Be careful when placing the camera near a window or outdoors. • If you apply mechanical shock to around the lens or shake the camcorder back and forth, the picture may be distorted for a moment. • Do not aim at the sun. Doing so might cause your camcorder to malfunction. Take pictures of the sun only in low light conditions, such as at dusk. On recording • Before starting to record, test the recording function to make sure the picture and sound are recorded without any problems. You cannot delete images once you record them on a DVD-R. Use a DVD-RW/DVD+RW (not supplied) for trial recording (p.13). • Compensation for the contents of recordings cannot be provided, even if recording or playback is not possible 4 due to a malfunction of the camcorder, storage media, etc. • TV color systems differ depending on the countries/regions. 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 the copyright laws. You cannot dub copyright protected software on your camcorder. On this manual • The images of the LCD screen used on this manual are captured using a digital still camera, and thus may appear different from what you see. • The on-screen displays in each local language are used for illustrating the operating procedures.
