Recording
Make a test recording first to check if
the camcorder operates correctly.
Since recordings made

recommend you
use
a DVD-RW disc
to make the test recordings.

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.
