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.

ejecting the memory card when the access 

lamp (p. 20) is lit or flashing

removing the battery pack or AC Adaptor 

from the camcorder, or applying mechanical 

shock or vibration to the camcorder when the 

 (Movie)/  (Photo) lamps (p. 21) 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 

(HDR-XR550E/XR550VE).

On the drop sensor (HDR-XR550E/

XR550VE)

To protect the internal hard disk from shock 

by dropping, the camcorder has a drop sensor 

function (p. 90). 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.

Note on using the camcorder at high 

altitudes (HDR-XR550E/XR550VE)

Do not turn on the camcorder in a low-pressure 

area, where the altitude is more than 5,000 

meters (16,000 feet). Doing so may damage the 

internal hard disk drive of your camcorder.
