Notes & Precautions
ª Power-Related Items
≥When the Palmcorder is used for a long time, the Camera
body becomes warm, but this is not a malfunction.
≥If the [CHARGE] Lamp does not light up although the
Battery is attached, detach the Battery, and reattach it.
ª Inserting/Ejecting the Cassette
≥In the case of using a previously recorded Cassette, you
can use the Camera Search Function to find the position
where you want to continue recording.
≥If a new Cassette is inserted, rewind to the beginning of the
tape before starting recording.
If the Cassette Holder Does Not Go Back in:
≥Press the [PUSH TO CLOSE] mark and close the
Upper Cassette Compartment Cover firmly.
≥Turn off the Palmcorder and then turn it on again.
≥Check if the Battery charge is low.
If the Cassette Holder Does Not Come Out:
≥Close the Lower Cassette Compartment Cover
completely. Then, open it again.
≥Check if the Battery is weak.
ª Alarm Sounds
When [BEEP] on the [OTHER FUNCTIONS] Sub-Menu on
the [CAMERA FUNCTIONS] Main-Menu is set to [ON],
confirmation/alarm beeps are issued as follows.
1 Beep
≥When you start recording
≥When you switch the [OFF/ON/MODE] Switch from [OFF]
to [ON]
2 Beeps
≥When you pause recording
10 Beeps
≥If you perform a wrong operation before or during recording
ª Recording
(l 20)
≥Before turning on the Palmcorder, remove the Lens Cap. If
the lens cap is still attached when the Palmcorder is turned
on, Automatic White Balance Adjustment may not function
correctly.
ª Recording Check
(l 20)
≥For recording check, the Palmcorder must be the same as
the recording speed Modes (SP/LP) used for the recording.
Otherwise the playback images will be distorted.
ª Camera Search
(l 20)
≥In Camera Search Mode, images may contain mosaic-like
noise patterns. This is a phenomenon that is characteristic
of digital video and not a malfunction.
≥If the recording speed Modes (SP/LP) of previous
recording and new recording are different, playback
images may be distorted.
(l 12)
(l 13)
ª Progressive PhotoShot
≥When you change to the still picture Mode, you will hear a
click. This is the sound of the iris closing and not an
indication of malfunction.
≥If you record still pictures in Progressive PhotoShot
Mode when your Palmcorder is set to Program AE, the
brightness of the images may vary.
About [PROGRESSIVE] Setting
≥When the [æ] Indication is displayed, you can use the
Progressive PhotoShot Function.
When [PROGRESSIVE] is set to [ON]:
You can use the Progressive PhotoShot Function at any
time. In this case, however, the following functions are
disabled.
≥[EFFECT1] Digital Effect Modes
≥Digital Zoom [D.ZOOM]
≥1/750 or faster shutter speed
≥Continuous PhotoShot Function
≥[REC MODE] on the [CAMERA SETUP] Sub-Menu is set
to [NORMAL] ([FRAME] is not available)
When [PROGRESSIVE] is set to [AUTO]
You cannot use the Progressive PhotoShot Function in the
following circumstances.
≥When the zoom magnification is approximately 10k or
higher
≥When the shutter speed is 1/750 or faster
≥When [EFFECT1] is set to [WIPE], [MIX], [STROBE],
[MAGICPIX], [TRAIL], [MOSAIC], [MIRROR]

P screen
≥Continuous PhotoShot Function
ª Zoom In/Out Functions
≥By pressing the [W/T] zoom lever to [W] or to [T] in
Recording Pause Mode, you can zoom 1– 10k at the
maximum speed of 0.4 seconds.
≥During recording, you can zoom 1– 10k in as short a time
as approximately 0.8 seconds.
≥During considerably fast zooming, the image may become
out of focus temporarily.
≥When you are using a high amount of zoom, a sharper
focus is achieved if the recording subject is approximately
4 feet (1.2 m) or more away from the Palmcorder.
ª Optical Image Stabilizer Function
≥Within the digital zoom range, the Optical Image Stabilizer
function may not work effectively.
≥If [TAPE/CARD] selector is set to [TAPE], [
cannot be set.
≥If [STILL/MPEG4/VOICE] Selector is set to [MPEG4] or
[VOICE], [ EIS] cannot be set.
MEGA
≥Within the digital zoom range, or when recording with a
conversion lens attached, the Optical Image Stabilizer
function may not work effectively.
≥When a tripod is used, it is recommended that you turn the
Optical Image Stabilizer function off.
