If white circular spots appear on photos
This is caused by particles (dust, pollen, etc.) floating close to the lens. When they are 
accentuated by the camcorder’s flash, they appear as white circular spots.
To reduce the white circular spots, light the room and shoot the subject without a flash.
Acquiring location information using the GPS (HDR-CX350V/XR350V)
When you set the GPS switch (p. 75) to ON, 
 appears on the LCD screen, and your 
camcorder acquires the location information from the GPS satellites. Acquiring the location 
information enables you to use functions such as the Map Index.
The indicator changes according to the strength of GPS signal reception.
Make sure that the GPS switch is set to OFF during take off and landing of an airplane.
Processing time can be shortened when you load the GPS assist data into the camcorder using the 
supplied software “PMB.”  Install “PMB” on your computer (P. 37) and connect the computer to the 
internet. Then connect the camcorder to the computer and the GPS assist data will be automatically 
updated.
The GPS assist data may not function in the following cases:
When the GPS assist data are not updated for about 30 days or more
When the date and time of the camcorder are not correctly set
When the camcorder is moved for a long distance
