Please use the Manual Focus Mode instead.
1)  Recording a subject whose one end is 
located closer to the Camcorder and the 
other end farther away from it
•  Because Auto Focus makes adjustments at 
the center of an image, it may be impossible 
to focus on a subject that is located in both 
foreground and background.
2)  Recording a subject behind dirty or dusty 
glass
•  Because the focus is on the dirty glass, the 
subject behind the glass will not be focused.
3)  Recording a subject in dark surroundings
•  Because the light information that comes 
through the lens decreases considerably, the 
Camcorder cannot focus correctly.
4)  Recording a subject that is surrounded by 
objects with glossy surfaces or by highly 
reflective objects
•  Because the Camcorder focuses on the objects 
with glossy surfaces or on highly reflective 
objects, the subject may become blurry.
5)  Recording a fast-moving subject
•  Because the focus lens-inside moves 
mechanically, it cannot keep up with the 
fast-moving subject.
6)  Recording a subject with little contrast
•  Because the Camcorder achieves focus based 
upon the vertical lines of an image, a subject 
with little contrast, such as a white wall, may 
become blurry.
„ Time Code
Time Code signals are data that indicate time 
measured in hours, minutes, seconds, and frames
(30 frames per second). If this data is included in a 
recording, an address is assigned to each image on 
the tape.
•  The Time Code is automatically recorded as a part 
of the sub-code at each recording.
•  When a new (previously unrecorded) Cassette is 
inserted, the Time Code automatically starts from 
zero. If a recorded Cassette is inserted, the Time 
Code picks up from the point where the last scene 
was recorded. (In this case, when the Cassette 
is inserted, the zero display [0h00m00s00f] may 
appear, but the Time Code starts from the previous 
value.)
•  The Time Code cannot be reset to zero.
•  Unless the Time Code is continuously recorded from 
the beginning of a tape, accurate editing may not 
be possible. To ensure that the Time Code will be 
recorded with no breaks, we recommend the use of 
the Blank Search Function (p. 26) before recording a 
new scene.

Explanation of Terms
„ Digital Video System
In a digital video system, images and sounds are 
converted into digital signals and recorded on a 
tape. This complete digital recording is capable of 
recording and playback with minimal image and sound 
deterioration.
In addition, it automatically records data, such as Time 
Code and Date/Time, as digital signals.
Compatibility with S-VHS or VHS Cassettes
Because this Camcorder employs a digital system for 
recording image and sound data, it is not compatible 
with conventional S-VHS or VHS video equipment that 
employs an analog recording system.
The size and shape of the Cassettes are also 
different.
Compatibility with Output Signals
Because AV signal output from the AV signal output 
Jack is analog (the same as conventional video 
systems), this Camcorder can be connected with 
S-VHS or VHS video or a TV for playback.
„ Focus
Auto Focus Adjustment
The Auto Focus System automatically moves forward 
and backward the focusing lens inside the Camcorder 
to bring the subject into focus so that the subject can 
be seen clearly.
However, the Auto Focus System does not function 
properly for the following subjects or under the 
following recording conditions.
