Do not turn on the camcorder in a low-pressure
area, where the altitude is more than 3,000
meters (9,800 feet). Doing so may damage the
hard disk drive of your camcorder.
If you repeat recording/deleting images for a
long time, fragmentation of data occurs on the
media. Images cannot be saved or recorded. In
such a case, save your images on some type of
external media first, and then perform [MEDIA
FORMAT]*.
Fasten the grip belt and hold your camcorder
correctly while recording.
To adjust the LCD panel, open the LCD panel
90 degrees to the camcorder
, then rotate it
to the best angle to record or play
. You can
rotate the LCD panel 180 degrees to the lens
side
to record in mirror mode.
The LCD screen is manufactured using
extremely high-precision technology, so over
99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective
use. However, there may be some tiny black
points and/or bright points (white, red, blue,
or green in color) that appear constantly on the
LCD screen. These points are normal results of
the manufacturing process and do not affect the
recording in any way.
Remove the insulation sheet before using the
Remote Commander.
