Menu items, LCD panel, and lens
A menu item that is grayed out is not available 
under the current recording or playback 
conditions.
The LCD screen is manufactured using 
extremely high-precision technology, so over 
99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective 
use. However, there may be some tiny black 
points and/or bright points (white, red, blue, 
or green in color) that appear constantly on the 
LCD screen. These points are normal results of 
the manufacturing process and do not affect the 
recording in any way.
Exposing the LCD screen or the lens to direct 
sunlight for long periods of time may cause 
malfunctions.
Do not aim at the sun. Doing so might cause 
your camcorder to malfunction. Take images 
of the sun only in low light conditions, such as 
at dusk.
About language setting
The on-screen displays in each local language 
are used for illustrating the operating 
procedures. Change the screen language before 
using the camcorder if necessary (p. 19).
