Recording
Before recording
First, format the SD card or the disc if one which has been used on another device is going to be used 
for the first time on this unit. (
l 93, 94) When the SD card or the disc is formatted, all of the recorded 
data is deleted. Once the data is deleted, it cannot be restored. Copy valuable data onto a PC or other 
device before proceeding with the formatting.
We recommend using HD Writer 2.0E for SX/SD to import data recorded on this unit. (

1 Hold the unit with both hands.
2 Put your hand through the grip belt.
3 Do not cover inlet A or outlet B of the cooling fan with your hand as it will prevent heat release.
If heat builds up inside the unit, it could be damaged.
4 Do not cover the microphones C or the sensors D with your hands.
5 Keep your arms near your body.
6 Separate your legs for better balance.
≥ When you are outdoors, record pictures with the sunlight behind you. If the subject is backlit, it will 
become dark in the recording.
≥ When recording, make sure your footing is stable and there is no danger of colliding with another 
person or object.
