Basic recording
For on-screen information display, see pages 16~18.
For approximate recording times, see page 33.
Eject the battery when you have finished recording to prevent
unnecessary battery power consumption.
For various functions available when you record videos, see pages
51~65.
During recording, some button operations are unavailable. ([
MODE
]
button, [
MENU
] button, etc.)
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 can adjust the brightness of the LCD screen in the menu
options. Adjusting the LCD screen does not affect the image being
recorded.

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 that may record surrounding ambient noise. The increasing
microphone sensitivity can let the camcorder record zoom noises
during zooming (the sound of the zoom mechanism etc).
When you record indoors or in the dark places, ISO sensitivity is
automatically adjusted. It can make interference effects on images
and you cannot view the images recorded in the dark places
correctly. We recommend you to use professional camcorders like a
infrared camcorder when recording at night.
An image can be shaken when the Anti-Shake(HDIS) function is
enabled if the camcorder is mounted on a tripod or fixed on a place.
Release the Anti-Shake(HDIS) function when the camcorder is
mounted on a tripod.
