shortened.
The recording stops automatically.
• The internal temperature of your camcorder is extremely low. Keep it turned
on and wait until it warms up.

will deteriorate. In this case, format the storage media again.

automatically stops recording the video images and then the corresponding
message appears on the LCD screen.

When the screen is exposed to direct
sunlight during recording, the screen
becomes red or black for an instant.
