Recording Video and Photo s
NOTES NOTES
• The REC button on the handle unit has a lock lever to prevent accidental operation. Set the lock lever to
C
in
cases such as when you do not want a recording inadvertently paused or do not plan to use this REC button.
Return the lever to its previous position to enable use of the REC button again.
• If the camcorder switches to the other SD card while recording video due to the relay recording function
(
A
47), the two parts (before/after the switch) will be recorded as separate clips. With the software Data
Import Utility, you can join clips recorded on different SD cards and save them on a computer as a single clip
(
A
111).
• When recording clips on an SDHC card, the video (stream) file in the clip will be split approximately every 4 GB.
Playback with the camcorder will be continuous.
• The maximum continuous recording time of a single clip is 6 hours. After that, a new clip will be created
automatically and recording will continue as a separate clip.
• When recording in bright places, it may be difficult to use the LCD screen. In such case, use the viewfinder or
adjust the brightness of the screen (
A
25).
• When you need to record for a long time with the camcorder set on a tripod, you can close the LCD panel and
use only the viewfinder in order to save power when using a battery pack (
A
