Sound is recorded from the internal stereo microphone on the
top-front of the camcorder. Take care that this microphone is not
blocked.
•
Before recording an important video, make sure to test the recording
function to check if there is any problem with the audio or video
recording.

•
You cannot use a locked memory card for recording. You will see a
message saying recording is disabled due to the lock.
•
Recording videos in a quiet environment increases microphone
sensitivity. This increased sensitivity may cause the microphone
to record surrounding ambient noise. The increased microphone
sensitivity may also cause the camcorder to record the noise the
zoom mechanism makes if you use the zoom while recording.
•
When you record indoors or in the dark places, ISO sensitivity is
automatically adjusted. In very dark places, the ISO adjustment
can cause interference effects on images and prevent you from
recording these images correctly. We recommend you use a
professional, infrared camcorder when recording in dark places or at
night.
•
An image can be blurred when the Anti-Shake(HDIS) function is
enabled and the camcorder is mounted on a tripod or fixed in place.
Release the Anti-Shake(HDIS) function when the camcorder is
mounted on a tripod.
