Notes

• If you do not use your camcorder for

about 3

months

, the built-in rechargeable battery gets

discharged and the date and time settings may
be cleared from the memory. In that case,
charge the built-in rechargeable battery and then
set the date and time again (p. 118).

• It takes a few seconds for your camcorder to be

ready to shoot after the power is turned on. You
cannot operate your camcorder during this time.

• The lens cover opens automatically when the

power is turned on. It closes when the playback
screen is selected, or the power is turned off.

• In the default setting, the power turns off

automatically if you leave your camcorder
unoperated for approximately 5 minutes, to save
battery power ([A.SHUT OFF], p. 83).

Tips

• The date and time does not appear during

recording, but they are automatically recorded
on the media, and can be displayed during
playback ([DATA CODE], p. 78).

• See page 110 for information concerning

“World time difference.”

• If the buttons on the touch panel do not work

correctly, adjust the touch panel
([CALIBRATION], p. 117).
