Make a trial recording
Before the actual recording of important
data, make a trial recording and play back
the recorded data to check that the video
and sound have been recorded correctly. We
recommend you to use the same recording
media when performing both the trial recording
and the actual recording.
Reset the camcorder if it does not operate
correctly
This camcorder uses a microcomputer.
Factors such as background noise and
interference can prevent it from operating

correctly, reset the camcorder. (
