Recording
Your camcorder records movies on memory cards. Do the following steps to record movies.
• This camcorder can record movies in either high definition image quality (HD) or standard definition
image quality (SD). The factory setting is high definition image quality (HD) ([REC FORMAT], p. 27).

Notes
• When the access lamp is lit or flashing in red, your camcorder is writing data on the memory card. Do not
shake or knock your camcorder, or remove the battery pack or the AC Adaptor.
• See page 95 on the recording time of movies.
• Your camcorder can record movies for about 13 hours continuously.
• If a movie file exceeds 2 GB during recording, the camcorder divides the file and create a new file
automatically.
• The menu settings, the PICTURE PROFILE settings, and the settings made by the AUTO/MANUAL
switch are stored in your camcorder when you turn the POWER switch to OFF. The access lamp lights up
while the settings are being stored. If you remove the battery pack or the AC Adaptor before turning off
the power, the settings may return to the default settings.
