Notes
• If you do not use your camcorder for
about 3
months
, the built-in rechargeable battery gets
discharged and the date and time settings may
be cleared from the memory. In that case,
charge the rechargeable battery and then set the
date and time again (p. 107).
• It takes a few seconds for your camcorder to be
ready to shoot after the power is turned on. You
cannot operate your camcorder during this time.
• In the setting at the time of purchase, the power
turns off automatically if you leave your
camcorder without any operation attempted for
approximately 5 minutes, to save battery power
([A.SHUT OFF], p. 72).

Tips

on the disc, and can be displayed during

• Refer to page 99 for information concerning
“World time difference.”
• If the buttons on the touch panel do not work
correctly, adjust the LCD screen
