IMPORTANT
•
When
recording
movies,
try
to
get
a
calm,
stable
picture.
Excessive camcorder movement while
shooting and extensive use of fast
zooms and panning can result
in
jittery
scenes.
In
extreme
cases,
the
playback
of such scenes may result
in
visually
induced motion sickness. If you
experience such a reaction, immediately
stop the playback and take a rest break
as
necessary.
The red CAMERA indicator will
turn
on.

Before

Make a test recording first to check if
the camcorder operates correctly.
Since recordings made on a DVD-R or

DL
disc cannot be deleted, we
recommend you use a DVD-RW disc
to make the test recordings.
