Basic Operation of the Camcorder
Using the Touch Screen
The control buttons and menu items that appear on the touch screen
change dynamically depending on the operating mode and the task
you are performing. You can easily operate the touch screen using your
finger or the supplied stylus pen. With the intuitive touch screen inter-
face you have all the controls at your fingertips.
Touch
Press firmly on an element displayed on
the touch screen.
Used to start playing back a scene in
an index screen, to select a setting from
the menus, to select the subject whom
the camcorder will recognize as the
main subject of the scene, etc.
Drag
While applying pressure, swipe your fin-
ger up and down or left and right across
the screen.
Used to scroll menus, to browse
through index screen pages or to adjust
slider controls like the volume.
IMPORTANT
• The camcorder uses a pressure-sensitive touch screen. Press
firmly when using touch operations.
• If you press the touch screen hard, the area pressed may appear white
or black. This is a characteristic of the touch screen and will not cause a
malfunction. Also, this will not affect your recordings.
