Notes on use
Using the camcorder
•Do not hold the camcorder by the following parts, and also do not hold the camcorder by the jack covers.
•The LCD screen is 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. These points are normal results of the manufacturing process and do not affect the recording in any way.

b Notes
•The camcorder is not dustproof, dripproof or waterproof. See “About handling of your camcorder” (p. 122).
•When connecting the camcorder to another device with communication cables, be sure to insert the connector plug in the correct way. Pushing the plug forcibly into the terminal will damage the terminal and may result in a malfunction of the camcorder.
•Use the camcorder in accordance with the regulations of a place where you use it.
On the LCD screen and lens
•A menu item that is grayed out is not available under the current recording or playback conditions.
White, red, blue or green point
Black point
On sunlight
•Do not record the sun or leave the camcorder under the sun for a long time. The internal parts of the camcorder may be damaged. If sunlight is focused on a nearby object, it may cause a fire.
•Do not expose your camcorder’s viewfinder, lens, or LCD screen to the sun or strong light source for extended periods. Doing so may cause a malfunction of the camcorder.
•Do not attempt to record the sun directly. Doing so may cause a malfunction of the camcorder.
On the temperature of your camcorder and battery pack
Your camcorder has a protective function that disables recording or playback if the temperature of your camcorder or battery pack is beyond the safely operable range. In this case, a message appears on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder (p. 111).
2
On recording
•In order to stabilize memory card operation, it is recommended that you format the memory card when you use it with your camcorder for the first time. All data recorded on the memory card will be erased by formatting, and cannot be recovered. Save important data on the memory card on other media such as a computer, before formatting the memory card.
•Before starting to record, test the recording function to make sure the picture and sound are recorded without any problems.
•Compensation for the loss of the content of recordings or the loss of recording opportunities cannot be provided, even if recording or playback is not possible due to a malfunction of the camcorder, storage media, etc., or even if images or sounds are distorted due to the limits of the capabilities of the camcorder.
•TV color systems differ depending on the countries/regions. To view your recordings on a TV, a TV of the appropriate color system for the country/ region is required.
•Television programs, films, video tapes, and other materials may be copyrighted. Unauthorized recording of such materials may be contrary to the copyright laws.
•Because of the way that the image device (CMOS sensor) reads out image signals, the following phenomena may occur.
–The subjects passing by the frame rapidly might appear crooked depending on the recording conditions. (This phenomenon may be notable in displays having high motion resolution.)
–Horizontal lines appear on the LCD screen during recording under fluorescent lights, sodium lamps or mercury lamps. The phenomena can be reduced by adjusting the shutter speed (p. 40).
Save all your recorded image data
•To prevent your image data from being lost, save all your recorded images on PC periodically.
To handle the recorded images on your computer
Download the “Content Browser” software (p. 19).
Format the recording media using [MEDIA FORMAT] if images are not recorded or played back properly
If you continue recording and deleting images on recording media for a long period of time, the files on that recording media may be fragmented. As a result, you may not be able to record and save images properly. If this happens, save images on a PC, then format the recording media
(p. 78).
About the operation of the camcorder
You can operate the camcorder using the v/V/b/B/EXEC buttons (p. 81), and the touch panel. However, you cannot use the touch panel* to make some settings such as the MENU items.
*Some operations are possible only with the touch panel.
About this manual
•The on-screen displays in each local language are used for illustrating the operating procedures. Change the screen language before using your camcorder if necessary (p. 101).
•Design and specifications of recording media and other accessories are subject to change without notice.
•The value you can set in [REC FORMAT], etc., depends on the [60i/50i SEL] setting. In this manual, the values for both [60i] and [50i] settings are described.

Using the LCD screen
The LCD screen can be rotated in the range as illustrated below, allowing a person other than the camera operator to see the image.
180 degrees (max.)
Open 90 degrees.
90 degrees (max.)
When the picture in the viewfinder is hard to see
If you cannot see the picture in the viewfinder clearly under bright circumstances, use the supplied large eyecup. To attach the large eyecup, stretch it slightly and fit it over the groove of the eyecup attached to the camcorder. You can attach the large eyecup facing either the right or left side.
Large eyecup (supplied)
Adjusting the viewfinder
When using the viewfinder, extend it and position your eye near it. If you extend the viewfinder while the LCD
screen is open, the display switches from
the LCD screen to the viewfinder when you position your eye near the viewfinder.
If the viewfinder image appears blurred, turn the lens adjustment dial next to the viewfinder until the image is sharp.
b Notes
• If the viewfinder is extended while the battery pack NP-FV100/FV100A (sold separately) is attached, the large eyecup and battery pack may interfere with each other slightly. However, this does not affect the functionality of the camcorder.

Memory card slot A
Started Getting
Memory card slot B
Note the direction of the notched corner.
•If you insert a memory card into the slot in the wrong direction, the memory card, the memory card slot, or image data may be damaged.
b Notes
•Operation with all memory cards is not assured.
•Only “Memory Stick PRO Duo” media, which is half the size of standard “Memory Stick” media, or “Memory Stick XC-HG Duo” media, or standard size SD cards can be used with this camcorder.
•See page 114 for the recordable time of memory cards.
•Movies recorded on “Memory Stick XC-HG Duo” media or SDXC memory cards can be imported to or played back on other equipment, such as a computer or A/V device, by connecting the camcorder to the equipment with the USB cable. However, the equipment must support the exFAT file system used for “Memory Stick XC-HG Duo” media and SDXC memory cards. Confirm in advance that the connecting equipment is supporting the exFAT file system. If you connect equipment not supporting the exFAT file system and the format screen appears, do not perform the format. All the data recorded will be lost.
•Memory card slot A accepts either “Memory Stick PRO Duo” media or an SD card. Memory card slot B accepts an SD card only.
To eject the memory card
Lightly push the memory card once.
b Notes
•If [The image database file is corrupted. The media must be restored to use again.] appears, format the memory card (p. 78).
•When inserting or ejecting the memory card, be careful of the memory card popping out and dropping.
