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
(
46). To restore the power, turn the
camcorder off and then 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 in.). 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 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.
