IMPORTANT
• When recording movies, try to get a calm, 
stable picture.
Excessive camcorder movement while 
shooting and extensive use of fast 
zooms and panning can result in jittery 
scenes. In extreme cases, the playback 
of such scenes may result in visually 
induced motion sickness. If you 
experience such a reaction, immediately 
stop the playback and take a rest break 
as necessary.
Basic Recording
Before You Begin Recording
Make a test recording first to check if 
the camcorder operates correctly. 
Since recordings made on a DVD-R or 
DVD-R DL disc cannot be deleted, we 
recommend you use a DVD-RW disc 
to make the test recordings.
