Menu items, LCD panel, viewfinder
(HDR-CX700/CX700V) and lens
A menu item that is grayed out is not available
under the current recording or playback
conditions.
The LCD screen and viewfinder (HDR-CX700/
CX700V) are 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, the viewfinder
(HDR-CX700/CX700V) 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. 20).
On recording
To ensure stable operation of the memory
card, it is recommended to format the memory
card with your camcorder before the first use
(p. 89). Formatting the memory card will erase
all the data stored on it and the data will be
irrecoverable. Save your important data on your
PC etc.
Before starting to record, test the recording
function to make sure the image and sound are
recorded without any problems.
Compensation for the contents of recordings
cannot be provided, even if recording or
playback is not possible due to a malfunction of
the camcorder, recording media, etc.
TV color systems differ depending on the
country/region. To view your recordings on a
TV, you need an NTSC system-based TV.
Television programs, films, video tapes,
and other materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized recording of such materials may
be contrary to the copyright laws.
Use the camcorder in accordance with local
regulations.
Notes on playing back
You may not be able to play back normally
images recorded on your camcorder with other
devices. Also, you may not be able to play back
images recorded on other devices with your
camcorder.
Standard (STD) image quality movies recorded
on SD memory cards cannot be played on AV
equipment of other manufacturers.
DVD media recorded with HD image
quality (high definition)
DVD media recorded with high definition
image quality (HD) can be played back with
devices that are compatible with the AVCHD
standard. You cannot play discs recorded with
high definition image quality (HD) with DVD
players/recorders as they are not compatible
with the AVCHD format. If you insert a disc
recorded with the AVCHD format (high
definition image quality (HD)) into a DVD
player/recorder, you may not be able to eject
the disc.
