Camera recording
Make sure that the power source is installed and a cassette is inserted and that AUTO
LOCK is set to ON. When AUTO LOCK is set to ON, all settings are automatically
adjusted to best suit your shooting environment. Before you record one-time events,
you may want to make a trial recording to make sure that the digital camcorder is
working correctly.
When you use the digital camcorder for the first time, power on it and reset the date
and time to your time before you start recording (p. 80).
