The [DROP SENSOR] is set to [ON] as the
default setting. When the drop sensor senses
a drop of the camcorder (
appears), you
may not record/play back the images to
protect the internal hard disk.
• Set the drop sensor to [ON] (default setting) when
you use the camcorder. Otherwise when you drop
the camcorder, you may damage the hard disk of
the camcorder.
• In a non-gravity situation, the drop sensor
activates. When you record images during activity
such as roller-coasting or skydiving, you can set
[DROP SENSOR] to [OFF] (
) not to activate
the drop sensor.
• [DROP SENSOR] is automatically set to [ON]
after you remove the power source for more than
five minutes.
[EMPTY HDD] allows you to write non
important data onto the hard disk of the
camcorder. In this way, it may become more
difficult to recover any original data. When
you dispose or transfer the camcorder to
others, it is recommended that you perform
[EMPTY HDD].
Connect your camcorder to the wall outlet
using the supplied AC Adaptor for this
operation (p.17).
• If you perform [EMPTY HDD], all the images
are deleted. To avoid the loss of important images,
they should be saved (p.44) before performing
[EMPTY HDD].
