Changing the mode settings
* These settings return to the default 5 minutes or more after the power source is
disconnected or battery is removed. As far as the other items without an asterisk are
concerned, their settings are retained even when the power source is disconnected or
battery is removed, as long as the vanadium-lithium battery is charged.
When recording a close subject
When REC LAMP is set to ON, the red camera recording lamp on the front of the camcorder
may reflect on the subject if it is close. In this case, we recommend you set REC LAMP to
OFF.
Notes
•When playing back a tape recorded in the 16-bit mode, you cannot adjust the balance in
AUDIO MIX.
•If you select 16BIT in AUDIO MODE, you cannot add an audio sound.
•If you select BRIGHT in LCD B.L., the battery life while recording decreases 10 to 20%.
When you use a power source other than the battery, the menu item LCD B.L. is set to
BRIGHT automatically and the item does not appear on the screen.
