Additional Information

Read this first

Before operating this unit, please read this manual thoroughly, and retain it for future

reference.

Precautions when using the

camcorder

• Do not hold the camcorder by the following

parts, and also do not hold the camcorder by the

jack covers.

bNotes

• The camcorder is not dustproof, dripproof or

waterproof. See “About handling of your

camcorder” (p. 112).

• When connecting the camcorder to another

device with communication cables, be sure to

insert the connector plug in the correct way.

Pushing the plug forcibly into the terminal will

damage the terminal and may result in a

malfunction of the camcorder.

• Use the camcorder in accordance with the

regulations of the place where you use it.

On the LCD screen and lens

• A menu item that is grayed out is not available

under the current recording or playback

conditions.

• The LCD panel fitted to this unit is

manufactured with high precision technology,

giving a functioning pixel ratio of at least

99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of pixels

may be “stuck”, either always off (black),

always on (red, green, or blue), or flashing. In

addition, over a long period of use, because of

the physical characteristics of the liquid crystal

display, such “stuck” pixels may appear

spontaneously. These problems are not a

malfunction. Note that any such problems have

no effect on recorded data.

On sunlight

• Do not record the sun or leave the camcorder

under the sun for a long time. The internal parts

of the camcorder may be damaged. If sunlight is

focused on a nearby object, it may cause a fire.

• Do not expose your camcorder’s viewfinder,

lens, or LCD screen to the sun or strong light

source for extended periods. Doing so may

cause a malfunction of the camcorder.

• Do not attempt to record the sun directly. Doing

so may cause a malfunction of the camcorder.

• Do not expose the lens to beams, such as laser

beams.

That may damage the image sensor and cause

the camera to malfunction.

On the temperature of your camcorder

and battery pack

Your camcorder has a protective function that

disables recording or playback if the temperature

of your camcorder or battery pack is beyond the

safely operable range. In this case, a message

appears on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder

(p. 102).

On recording

• In order to stabilize memory card operation, it is

recommended that you format the memory card

when you use it with your camcorder for the

first time. All data recorded on the memory card

will be erased by formatting, and cannot be

recovered. Save important data on the memory

card on other media, such as a computer, before

formatting the memory card.

• Before starting to record, test the recording

function to make sure the picture and sound are

recorded without any problems.

• Compensation for the loss of the content of

recordings or the loss of recording opportunities

cannot be provided, even if recording or

playback is not possible due to a malfunction of

the camcorder, storage media, etc., or even if

images or sounds are distorted due to the limits

of the capabilities of the camcorder.

• TV color systems differ depending on the

countries/regions. To view your recordings on a

TV, a TV of the appropriate color system for the

country/region is required.

• Television programs, films, video tapes, and

other materials may be copyrighted.

Unauthorized recording of such materials may

be contrary to the copyright laws.

• Because of the way that the image device

(CMOS sensor) reads out image signals, the

following phenomena may occur.

– The subjects passing by the frame rapidly

might appear crooked depending on the

recording conditions. (This phenomenon may

be notable in displays having high motion

resolution.)

– Horizontal lines appear on the LCD screen

during recording under fluorescent lights,

sodium lamps or mercury lamps. The

phenomena can be reduced by adjusting the

shutter speed (p. 39).

Save all your recorded image data

• To prevent your image data from being lost,

save all your recorded images periodically.

To handle the recorded images on

your computer

Download “Catalyst Browse” software (p. 18).

Format the recording media using

[MEDIA FORMAT] if images are not

recorded or played back properly

If you continue recording and deleting images on

recording media for a long period of time, the files

on that recording media may be fragmented. As a

result, you may not be able to record and save

images properly. If this happens, save images on a

PC, then format the recording media (p. 70).

About the operation of the camcorder

You can operate the camcorder using the VvB/ / /

b/SET buttons (p. 72).

About this manual

• The on-screen displays in each local language

are used for illustrating the operating

procedures. Change the screen language before

using your camcorder if necessary (p. 91).

• Design and specifications of recording media

and other accessories are subject to change

without notice.

z Tips

• It is difficult to focus automatically at a lower

shutter speed. Manual focusing with your

camcorder attached to a tripod is recommended.

• When recording under fluorescent lamps,

sodium lamps, or mercury lamps, the picture

may flicker or change colors, or may have

horizontal bands of noise.

You may be able to improve the situation by

adjusting the shutter speed to 1/50 if the power

frequency of your area is 50 Hz, or 1/60 in a 60

Hz area.

• You can switch the shutter speed display

between seconds and degrees ([SHUTTER

DISPLAY], p. 87).

To adjust automatically

Press the SHUTTER button F while the

shutter speed value is highlighted. The

shutter speed value disappears, or

appears next to the shutter speed value.

You can record a subject clearly by using

the ND filter switch B when the recording

environment is too bright.

The ND filters 1, 2 and 3 reduce the volume

of light to about 1/4, 1/16 and 1/64,

respectively.

If flashes during the iris automatic

adjustment, set the ND filter to 1. If

flashes during the iris automatic

adjustment, set the ND filter to 2. If

flashes during the iris automatic

adjustment, set the ND filter to 3.

The ND filter indicator will stop flashing

and remain on the screen.

If flashes, set the ND filter B to

“CLEAR.” The ND filter icon will

disappear from the screen.

b Notes

• If you change the ND filter switch B during

recording, the movie and sound may become

distorted.

• When adjusting the iris manually, the ND filter

icon does not flash even if the light volume

should be adjusted with the ND filter.

• If the camcorder cannot detect the ND filter

position (CLEAR/1/2/3), flashes on the

screen. Make sure that the ND filter is set

correctly.

z Tip

• While recording a bright subject, diffraction

may occur if you close the aperture further

down, resulting in a fuzzy focus (this is a

common phenomenon with video cameras). The

ND filter switch B suppresses this

phenomenon and gives better recording results.

zTips

• Setting both memories to the same setting doubles the color correction effect.

• The settings of [COLOR CORRECTION] will be retained even if the power is turned off. However, if

you want to correct colors that may change according to time of the day, weather, location, etc., it is

recommended that you set [COLOR CORRECTION] again prior to recording.

• If you change the white balance value or the settings of [WB SHIFT], [SATURATION] or [COLOR

PHASE] of the picture profile, the settings of [PHASE RANGE] and [PHASE] of the selected memory

will change. When you change the white balance value or the settings of the above picture profile items

after you have set [PHASE RANGE] and [PHASE], check the settings of [COLOR CORRECTION] prior

to recording.

• During the automatic white balance adjustment, the white balance value automatically varies according to

the lighting conditions of your recording environment. Manual white balance adjustment is recommended

when you use [COLOR CORRECTION].
