Table of Contents Enjoy Useful Functions Do not aim at the sun. Doing so might cause your camcorder to malfunction. Take images of the sun only in low light conditions, such as at dusk. About language setting The on-screen displays in each local language are used for illustrating the operating procedures. Change the screen language before using the camcorder if necessary (p. 20). On recording To ensure stable operation of the memory card, it is recommended to format the memory card with your camcorder before the first use (p. 90). Formatting the memory card will erase all the data stored on it and the data will be irrecoverable. Save your important data on your PC etc. Before starting to record, test the recording function to make sure the image and sound are recorded without any problems. Compensation for the contents of recordings cannot be provided, even if recording or playback is not possible due to a malfunction of the camcorder, recording media, etc. TV color systems differ depending on the country/region. 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. Use the camcorder in accordance with local regulations. Notes on playing back You may not be able to play back normally images recorded on your camcorder with other devices. Also, you may not be able to play back images recorded on other devices with your camcorder. Standard (STD) image quality movies recorded on SD memory cards cannot be played on AV equipment of other manufacturers. DVD media recorded with HD image quality (high definition) DVD media recorded with high definition image quality (HD) can be played back with devices that are compatible with the AVCHD standard. You cannot play discs recorded with high definition image quality (HD) with DVD players/recorders as they are not compatible with the AVCHD format. If you insert a disc recorded with the AVCHD format (high definition image quality (HD)) into a DVD player/recorder, you may not be able to eject the disc. Save all your recorded image data To prevent your image data from being lost, save all your recorded images on external media periodically. To save images on your computer, see page 56, and to save images on external devices, see page 62. The type of discs or media on which the images can be saved depend on the [ REC Mode] selected when the images were recorded. Movies recorded with [60p Quality ] can be saved using external media (p. 64). Movies recorded with [Highest Quality ] can be saved on external media or on Blu-ray discs (p. 61, 64). Notes on battery pack/AC Adaptor Be sure to remove the battery pack or the AC Adaptor after turning off the camcorder. Disconnect the AC Adaptor from the camcorder, holding both the camcorder and the DC plug. Note on the camcorder/battery pack temperature When the temperature of the camcorder or battery pack becomes extremely high or extremely low, you may not be able to record or play back on the camcorder, due to the protection features of the camcorder being activated in such situations. In this case, an indicator appears on the LCD screen (p. 106). Index US
