Confirmation/Warning beeps
The camcorders short operation confirmation beeps are indicated by ` in the

turn the camcorder on, during the self-timer countdown, right before the
camcorders automatic shut-off, and also upon any unusual condition of the
camcorder. Beeps are not recorded on the tape.

system, recordings made in the 16:9 mode for wide screen TVs will
automatically play back in wide screen mode on the TV screen.
