About images, illustrations, and screen 
displays of this manual

The example images used in this manual for 

illustration purposes are captured using a 

digital still camera, and therefore may appear 

different from images and screen indicators that 

actually appear on your camcorder. And, the 

illustrations of your camcorder and its screen 

indication are exaggerated or simplified for 

understandability.

In this manual, the internal hard disk (DCR-

SR58E/SR68E/SR78E/SR88E), the internal 

memory (DCR-SX34E/SX44E/SX53E/SX63E) 

of your camcorder and memory card are called 

“recording media.”

Design and specifications of your camcorder 

and accessories are subject to change without 

notice.

Confirm the model name of your 
camcorder

The model name is shown in this manual when 

there is a difference in specification between

Notes on use

Do not do any of the following, otherwise, the 

recording media may be damaged, recorded 

images may be impossible to play back or may 

be lost, or other malfunctions could occur.

Eject the memory card when the access lamp 

(p. 20) is lit or flashing

Remove the battery pack or AC Adaptor from 

the camcorder, or subject the camcorder to 

shock or vibration when the   (Movie)/  

(Photo) lamps (p. 16) or the access lamp 

(p. 20) are lit or flashing

When using a shoulder belt (sold separately), do 

not crash the camcorder against an object.

Do not use your camcorder in very loud areas.

On the drop sensor (DCR-SR58E/SR68E/
SR78E/SR88E)

To protect the internal hard disk from shock 

by dropping, the camcorder has a drop sensor 

function (p. 71). When a drop occurs, or 

under a non-gravity condition, the block noise 

made when this function is activated by the 

camcorder may also be recorded. If the drop 

sensor catches a drop repeatedly, recording/

playback may be stopped.
