Notes on use
Note on a cassette tape You can use standard 8 mm   and Hi8  , 
Digital8   video cassettes on your camcorder. See 
page 95 for details.
Notes on recording Before starting to record, test the recording function to make sure the picture 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, 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.
Notes on the LCD panel, viewfinder, and 
lens
 The LCD screen and the viewfinder 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 and the 
viewfinder.
These points are normal results of the manufacturing 
process and do not affect the recording in any way.
 Exposing the LCD screen, the viewfinder, or the lens  to direct sunlight for long periods of time may cause 
malfunctions. Be careful when placing the camera 
near a window or outdoors.
 Do not aim at the sun. Doing so might cause your  camcorder to malfunction. Take pictures of the sun 
only in low light conditions, such as at dusk.
Note on connecting other deviceBefore connecting your camcorder to other device 
such as a VCR or a computer with an USB or i.LINK 
cable, be sure to insert the connector plug in the proper 
direction. If you insert the connector plug forcibly in 
the wrong direction, the terminal may be damaged.
This may cause a malfunction of your camcorder.
Notes on using this manual The images of the LCD screen and the viewfinder used on this manual are captured using a digital still 
camera, and thus may appear different from what 
you see.

necessary (p. 19).
