17) Objects and Liquids — Never push objects of any kind
into this video unit through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could
result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind onto the video unit.
≥TO AVOID SHOCK HAZARD... Your Camera/Recorder
and power supply should not be exposed to rain or
moisture. Do not connect the power supply or operate your
Camera/Recorder if it gets wet. Your Camera/Recorder
has been designed for outdoor use, however it is not
designed to sustain direct exposure to water, rain, sleet,
snow, sand, dust, or a direct splashing from a pool or even
a cup of coffee. This action could permanently damage the
internal parts of your Camera/Recorder. Do not attempt to
disassemble this unit. There are no user serviceable parts
inside. Unplug your Camera/Recorder from the power
supply before cleaning.
≥DO NOT AIM YOUR CAMERA/RECORDER AT THE SUN
OR OTHER BRIGHT OBJECTS.
≥DO NOT LEAVE THE CAMERA/RECORDER WITH THE
EVF AIMED DIRECTLY AT THE SUN AS THIS MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE INTERNAL PARTS OF THE
EVF.

yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you
to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
19) Damage Requiring Service — Unplug this video unit
from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If any liquid has been spilled into, or objects have
fallen onto, the video unit.
c. If the video unit has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the video unit does not operate normally by following
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls
that are covered by the operating instructions, as an
improper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the video unit to its
normal operation.
≥DO NOT EXPOSE YOUR CAMERA/RECORDER TO
EXTENDED HIGH TEMPERATURE ... Such as, in direct
sunlight, inside a closed car, next to a heater, etc... This
action could permanently damage the internal parts of your
Camera/Recorder.

≥DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CAMERA/RECORDER OR THE
POWER SUPPLY TURNED ON WHEN NOT IN USE.
≥STORAGE OF YOUR CAMERA/RECORDER ... Store and
handle your Camera/Recorder in a manner that will not
subject it to unnecessary movement (avoid shaking and
striking). Your Camera/Recorder contains a sensitive pick-
up device which could be damaged by improper handling
or storage.
f. When the video unit exhibits a distinct change in
performance — this indicates a need for service.
20) Replacement Parts — When replacement parts are
required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have
the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock or other hazards.
21) Safety Check — Upon completion of any service or
repairs to this video unit, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the video unit is
in safe operating order.

Notes & Precautions
ªPower-Related Items (l 12)
≥When the Camera/Recorder 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

ªInserting/Ejecting the Cassette (l 13)
ªZoom In/Out Functions (l 21, 22)
≥By pressing the [W/T] zoom lever to [W] or to [T] in
Recording Pause Mode, you can zoom 1-10 t at the
maximum speed of 0.3 seconds.
≥During recording, you can zoom 1-10 t in as short a time
as approximately 0.8 seconds.
≥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 Camera/Recorder and then turn it on
again.
≥During considerably fast zooming, the image may become
out of focus temporarily.
≥When you are zooming on a faraway subject, a sharper
focus is achieved if the recording subject is approximately
4 feet (1.2 m) or more away from the Camera/Recorder.
≥Check if the Battery is weak.
If the Cassette Holder Does Not Come Out:
≥Close the Lower Cassette Compartment Cover
completely. Then, open it again.
ªOptical Image Stabilizer Function (l 22)
≥After-images may appear.
≥We recommend that you turn off the Image Stabilizer
Function when a Tripod is in use.

≥Within the digital zoom range, or when recording with a
conversion lens attached, the Image Stabilizer Function
may not work effectively.
ªRecording (l 20)
≥Before turning on the Camera/Recorder, remove the Lens
Cap. If the lens cap is still attached when the Camera/
Recorder is turned on, Automatic White Balance
Adjustment may not function correctly.
ªFade In/Out Mode (l 22)
Fading-in and fading-out cannot be used when recording still
pictures in the Photoshot Mode, Digital Still Picture Mode
and Multi-Picture Mode.
ªRecording Check (l 20)
≥For recording check, the Camera/Recorder must be the

malfunction. (Irreparable failure may occur.)
≥If sea water splashes onto the Camera/Recorder, wet a
soft cloth with tap water, wring it well, and use it to wipe the
Camera/Recorder body carefully. Then, wipe it again
thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.
After use, be sure to take the Cassette out and detach
the Battery from the Camera/Recorder or pull out the AC
Cable from AC Jack.
≥If the Cassette is left in the Camera/Recorder, the tape
sags and deteriorates.
≥If you leave the Battery attached to the Camera/Recorder
for a long time, the voltage drops excessively, and the
Battery will not function even after it is recharged.
Keep the Camera/Recorder away from magnetically
charged equipment (such as a Microwave oven, TV,
game equipment, etc.)
≥If you use the Camera/Recorder near a TV, images or
sounds may be disturbed due to electromagnetic wave
radiation.
≥Strong magnetic fields created by speakers or large motors
may damage previous recording on the tape, or images
may be distorted.
≥Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by a
microprocessor may adversely affect the Camera/
Recorder, causing the disturbance of images and sounds.
≥If the Camera/Recorder is affected by magnetically
charged equipment and does not function properly, turn off
the Camera/Recorder power and detach the Battery or AC
Adaptor and then connect the Battery or AC Adaptor again.
Thereafter, turn on the Camera/Recorder power.
ªAbout the AC Adaptor
≥If the temperature of the Battery is extremely high or
extremely low, the [CHARGE] Lamp may continue flashing,
and the Battery may not charge. After the temperature of
the Battery has decreased or increased sufficiently,
charging starts automatically. If the [CHARGE] Lamp
continues to flash even after the Battery temperature has
decreased or increased sufficiently, the Battery or AC
Adaptor may be faulty. In this case, please contact your
dealer.
≥If the Battery is warm, charging takes a longer time than
normal.
≥If you use the AC Adaptor near a radio, radio reception
may be disturbed. Keep the AC Adaptor 1 meter or more
away from radio.
≥When the AC Adaptor is in use, it may generate whirring
sounds. However, this is normal.
≥After use, be sure to pull out the AC Cable from the AC
Jack. (If they are left connected, a samll amount of
electricity is consumed.)
≥Always, keep the electrodes of the AC Adaptor and Battery
clean.
Do not use your Camera/Recorder near radio
transmitters or high-voltage lines.
≥If you record pictures near radio transmitters or high-
voltage lines, recorded images or sounds may be
adversely affected.
Do not use this Camera/Recorder for surveillance
purpose or other business use.
≥If you use the Camera/Recorder for a long time, the
internal temperature increases and, consequently, this may
cause malfunction.
≥This Camera/Recorder is not intended for industrial use.
When you use your Camera/Recorder on a beach or
similar place, do not let sand or fine dust get into the
Camera/Recorder.
≥Sand or dust may damage the Camera/Recorder or
Cassette. (Care should be taken when inserting and
ejecting the Cassette.)
Do not spray insecticides or volatile chemicals onto the

Notes:
ªCondensation
≥Do not rewind every time you use the Head Cleaner.
Rewind only when the tape reaches the end, and then use
it again from the beginning in the same manner as before.
≥If the heads become dirty soon after cleaning, the tape may
be damaged. In this case, immediately stop using that
Cassette.
≥Do not clean the heads excessively. (Excessive cleaning
may cause excessive wear of the heads. If the heads are
worn, images cannot be played back even after the heads
are cleaned.)
≥If the dirty heads cannot be cleaned with the head cleaner,
the Camera/Recorder needs to be cleaned at a service
center. Please consult a distributor.
≥Video head cleaners can be purchased from service
centers.
If excessive moisture condenses in the unit, [DEW
DETECTED] Indication will flash, and the Camera/Recorder
will automatically turn off after about 1 minute.
If this happens, follow the steps below:
1
Take out the Cassette.
≥None of the other functions operate. Depending on the
amount of condensation, removing the Cassette may
even become difficult. If this happens, wait for 2 to 3
hours before taking the Cassette out.
2
3
Open the Cassette Compartment and wait for 2
to 3 hours.
≥The number of hours to wait depends on the amount of
condensation and ambient temperature.
2 to 3 hours later, turn on the Camera/Recorder
and check to see if the [DEW DETECTED]
Indication is displayed.
≥Even if the [DEW DETECTED] Indication is not
displayed, as a precaution, please wait for another
hour before using the Camera/Recorder.
≥Head cleaning due to dirty heads is not considered a
malfunction of the product. It is not covered by the
warranty.
Periodical Check-up
To maintain the highest image quality, we recommend
replacement of worn parts, such as heads, etc., after
approximately 1000 hours of use. (This, however, depends
on operating conditions, such as temperature, humidity,
dust, etc.)
Watch for Condensation Even Before the [DEW
DETECTED] Indication Is Displayed.
≥Because condensation takes place gradually, the [DEW
DETECTED] Indication may not be displayed during the
first 10 to 15 minutes of condensation formation inside the
Camera/Recorder.
≥In extremely cold places, condensation may freeze and
form frost. In this case, the frost melts first, thus forming
condensation, and then it takes another 2 to 3 hours to
eliminate the condensation.
ªOptimal Use of the Battery
Battery Characteristics
This Battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. Its ability to
generate power is based upon the chemical reaction that
takes place inside it. This reaction is susceptible to the
surrounding temperature and humidity, and, if the
temperature is too high or too low, the operating time of the
Battery becomes shorter. If the Battery is used in an
extremely cold environment, the Battery may operate only
for about 5 minutes. If the Battery becomes extremely hot, a
protective function may operate, and the Battery may
become unusable for a while.
When the Lens Is Fogged:
Set the [OFF/ON/MODE] Switch to [OFF] and leave the
Camera/Recorder in this condition for about 1 hour. When
the lens temperature becomes close to the ambient
temperature, the fog disappears naturally.
ªDigital Video Head Cleaner
If the heads (the parts that make contact with tape) are dirty,
mosaic-like noise patterns may appear on the playback
image, or the screen as a whole becomes black. If the heads
are extremely dirty, recording performance deteriorates, and,
in the worst case, the Camera/Recorder cannot record at all.
Be Sure to Detach the Battery After Use
Be sure to detach the Battery from the Camera/Recorder. (If
it is left attached to the Camera/Recorder, a minute amount
of current is consumed even when the Camera/Recorder
power is off.) If the Battery is left attached to the Camera/
Recorder for a long time, over-discharge takes place. The
Battery may become unusable even after it is charged.
Causes of Digital Video Heads
≥Large quantity of dust in the air
≥High-temperature and high-humidity environment
≥Damaged tape
Disposing of an unusable Battery
≥The Battery has a limited life.
≥Long operating hours
≥Do not throw the Battery into fire because it may cause an
explosion.
Using Mini-DV Format Digital Video Head Cleaner
1
Insert the Head Cleaner into the Camera/
Recorder in the same manner as a Video
Cassette.

ªCautions for Storage
ªLCD Monitor/Viewfinder/Lens Hood
Before storing the Camera/Recorder, take the Cassette
out and detach the Battery.
LCD Monitor
≥
In a place with drastic temperature changes, condensation may
take place on the LCD Monitor. Wipe it with soft, dry cloth.
Store all the components in a dry place with a relatively
stable temperature.
≥If your Camera/Recorder is extremely cold when you turn its
power on, the image on the LCD Monitor is slightly darker
than usual at first. However, as the internal temperature
increases, it goes back to the normal brightness.

Camera/Recorder
...............................................................................................
≥Wrap it with a soft cloth to prevent dust from getting into the
Camera/Recorder.
≥Do not leave the Camera/Recorder in places that expose it
to high temperature.
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce
the LCD Monitor screen featuring a total of approximately
200,000 pixels. The result is more than 99.99% effective
pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit.
However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the
recorded picture.
Battery
≥Extremely high temperatures or low temperatures will
shorten the life of the Battery.
≥If the Battery is kept in smoky or dusty places, the terminals
may rust and cause malfunctions.
≥Do not allow the Battery terminals to come in contact with
metal objects (such as necklaces, hairpins, etc.). This can
result in a short circuit or heat generation and, if you touch
the Battery in this condition, you may be badly burned.
≥Store the Battery in a completely discharged state. To store
the Battery for a long period of time, we recommend you
charge it once every year and store it again after you
completely use up the charged capacity.
...............................................................................................
Viewfinder
≥Do not direct the Viewfinder or Lens to the sun. Internal
components may be seriously damaged.
≥When the Camera/Recorder is used with a large capacity
Battery attached to it, it is not practical to look in the
Viewfinder from behind the Battery. In this case, lift up the
Viewfinder to an easy-to-see angle.
...............................................................................................
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce
the Viewfinder screen featuring a total of approximately
113,000 pixels. The result is more than 99.99% active pixels
with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit.
However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the
recorded picture.
Cassette
≥Before storing it, rewind the tape to the beginning. If the
Cassette is left for more than 6 months with the tape
stopped midway, the tape sags (although it depends on the
storage condition). Be sure to rewind to the beginning.
≥Store the Cassette in its case. Dust, direct sunlight
(ultraviolet rays), or humidity may damage the tape. Dust
contains hard mineral particles, and dusty Cassettes
damage the heads of the Camera/Recorder and other
components. Develop a habit of returning the Cassette
back to its case.
≥Once every half year, wind the tape to the end and then
rewind it to the beginning. If the Cassette is left for 1 year or
longer without winding or rewinding, temperature and
humidity changes may cause the Cassette to deform due
to swelling, shrinking, and so forth. The wound tape may
stick to itself.
...............................................................................................
ªMC Protector/ND Filter
When attaching the supplied ND Filter or Wide conversion
Lens, be sure to first remove the MC Protector (l 8) by
turning it counterclockwise.
≥If you attach both the filter and the Wide Conversion Lens,
the four corners of the picture may become dark (vignetting
effect).
MC Protector
≥Since this filter neither affects the colors nor the amount of
light, it can always be left attached to protect the Movie
Camera’s lens.
≥It reduces invisible ultraviolet rays and prevents the picture
from becoming bluish.
ND Filter (ND-8) (l 6)
≥This filter reduces the amount of light to approximately
1/8th but does not affect the colors.
≥The depth of field is slightly reduced.
≥White balance adjustment is possible even with the ND
Filter attached. However, when using the ND Filter and
recording with Auto White Balance, the white balance
adjustment may not be precise. Therefore, we recommend
that you use the Manual White Balance Mode when
recording with the ND Filter attached.
≥Do not place a Cassette near highly magnetic substances
or equipment.
≥The surface of tape is covered with extremely minute
magnetic particles, upon which signals are recorded.
Magnetic necklaces, toys, etc., have magnetic force that is
stronger than you may expect, and they may erase the
contents of a recording or may cause noise in images and
sounds.
≥
When you record with the ND Filter attached and zoom to
the extreme wide-angle setting, the four corners of the
picture may become dark (vignetting effect).

Auto White Balance Adjustment
Explanation of Terms
This Camera/Recorder stores settings that are optimal for
several kinds of general light sources. The Camera/Recorder
determines the hue of light that it receives through the lens
and White Balance Sensor, thereby judging the recording
condition, and selects the closest hue setting. This function
is called Auto White Balance Adjustment.
However, since white balance settings for only certain kinds
of light sources are stored, the Auto White Balance Function
does not operate properly when recording occurs under light
that is out of the range of the setting values.
ªDigital Video System
In a digital video system, images and sounds are converted
into digital signals and recorded on a tape. This complete
digital recording is capable of recording and playback with
minimal image and sound deterioration.
In addition, it automatically records data, such as Time Code
and date/time, as digital signals.
Compatibility with S-VHS or VHS Cassettes
Because this Camera/Recorder employs a digital system for
recording image and sound data, it is not compatible with
conventional S-VHS or VHS video equipment that employs
an analogue recording system.
The size and shape of the Cassette are also different.
Compatibility with Output Signals
Because AV signal output from the AV signal output jack is
analogue (the same as conventional video systems), this
Camera/Recorder can be connected with S-VHS or VHS
video or a TV for playback.
ªTime Code
Time Code signals are data that indicate time measured in
hours, minutes, seconds, and frames (30 frames per
second). If this data is included in a recording, an address is
assigned to each image on the tape.
≥The Time Code is automatically recorded as a part of the
sub-code at each recording.
≥When a new (previously unrecorded) Cassette is inserted,
the Time Code automatically starts from zero. If a recorded
Cassette is inserted, the Time Code picks up from the point
where the last scene was recorded. (In this case, when the
Cassette is inserted, the zero display [0h00m00s00f] may
appear, but the Time Code starts from the previous value.)
≥The Time Code cannot be reset to zero.
≥Unless the Time Code is continuously recorded from the
beginning of a tape, accurate editing may not be possible.
To ensure that the Time Code will be recorded with no
breaks, we recommend the use of the Camera Search
Function (l 20) or the Blank Search Function (l 29)
before recording a new scene.
ªFocus
Auto Focus Adjustment
The Auto Focus System automatically moves the internal
focusing lens forward or backward and adjusts the focus so
that the subject can be seen clearly.
However, the Auto Focus System does not function properly
under the following recording conditions.
Please use the Manual Focus Mode instead.
1) Recording a subject whose one end is located closer
to the Camera/Recorder and the other end farther
away from it.
≥Because Auto Focus makes adjustments at the center
of an image, it may be impossible to focus on a subject
that is located in both foreground and background.
2) Recording a subject behind dirty or dusty glass.
≥Because the focus is on the dirty glass, the subject
behind the glass will not be focused.
3) Recording a subject in dark surroundings.
≥Because the light information that comes through the
lens decreases considerably, the Camera/Recorder
cannot focus correctly.
4) Recording a subject that is surrounded by objects
with glossy surfaces or by highly reflective objects.
≥Because the Camera/Recorder focuses on the objects
with glossy surfaces or on highly reflective objects, the
recording subject may become blurry.
ªMemory Stop Function
The Memory Stop Function is useful for the following
operations.
Rewinding or fast-forwarding a tape to a desired
position
1
Set [C.DISPLAY] on the [DISPLAY SETUP]
Sub-Menu to [MEMORY].
2
Reset the Tape Counter to zero at the tape
position you will want to play it back from
later. (l 10, 16)
3
4
Start playback or recording.
When playback or recording is over: slide the
[OFF/ON/MODE] Switch from on to put the
Camera/Recorder in the VCR Mode.
≥The [VCR] Lamp lights up.
5) Recording a fast-moving subject.
≥Because the focus lens inside moves mechanically, it
cannot keep up with the fast-moving subject.
6) Recording a subject with little contrast.
≥Because the Camera/Recorder achieves focus based
upon the vertical lines of an image, a subject with little
contrast, such as a white wall, may become blurry.
5
Rewind the tape.
≥The tape automatically stops approximately at the
position where the counter was set to zero.

Set [C.DISPLAY] on the [DISPLAY SETUP]
Sub-Menu to [MEMORY].
Reset the Tape Counter to zero at the position
where you want to stop editing.
Play back the still pictures where you want to
start audio dubbing.
Start audio dubbing. (l 33)
ªWhite Balance Adjustment
Depending on the type of light source, the colors recorded by
the Camera/Recorder may be affected. In some cases,
images may be recorded with bluish or reddish hue. To
minimize the effect of light on the subject’s color, what is
called White Balance Adjustment becomes necessary.
White Balance Adjustment
≥Audio dubbing automatically stops at the position
where the counter was set to zero.
White Balance Adjustment recognizes the color of light and
makes adjustment so that the white color will become pure
white.

Before Requesting Service
If you are experiencing a problem with your Digital Camera/Recorder, it may be something you can correct yourself. Check the
list below for Problems and Solutions.
Problems
Solutions
The Camera/Recorder power cannot be turned on.
Is the power source connected correctly?
The Camera/Recorder power is turned off automatically.
If you leave the Camera/Recorder in Recording Pause Mode
for more than 5 minutes, the power is turned off automatically
to protect the tape and to save the Battery power.
The Camera/Recorder power does not stay on long
enough.
Is the Battery low? Charge the Battery or attach a fully
charged Battery.
Something is wrong with the Camera/Recorder’s
operation. The Camera/Recorder is turned on but no
functions operate.
Press the [RESET] Button on the Camera/Recorder with a
pointed object. If this does not solve the problem, first
disconnect the power supply and wait for a minute or so, and
then reconnect the power supply to turn the power back on.
(If the above operation is performed when the [ACCESS]
Lamp of the Card Slot is lighting, the data of the Card may be
damaged.)
Battery runs down quickly.
≥Is the Battery fully charged? Charge it with the AC Adaptor.
≥Are you using the Battery in an extremely cold place? In
cold places, the operating time of the Battery becomes
shorter.
≥Has the Battery worn out? If the operating time is still too
short even after the Battery is fully charged, the Battery has
worn out.
The Battery cannot be charged.
If the DC Cable is connected to the AC Adaptor, charging
cannot be performed. Disconnect the DC Cable.
Recording does not start although power is supplied to
the Camera/Recorder and the Cassette is correctly
inserted.
≥Is the accidental erasure protection slider on the Cassette
open? If it is open (set to [SAVE]), recording cannot be
performed.
≥Is the tape wound to the end? Insert a new Cassette.
≥Is the Camera/Recorder power turned on?
≥Is the [CAMERA] Lamp on? If the [CAMERA] Lamp is not
on, no recording function can be operated.
≥Has condensation occurred? Wait until the [DEW
DETECTED] Indication disappears.
Audio dubbing cannot be performed.
≥Is the accidental erasure prevention slider on the Cassette
open? If it is open (set to [SAVE]), recording cannot be
performed.
≥Are you attempting to edit a tape portion that was recorded
in LP Mode? LP Mode does not allow audio dubbing to
operate.
The Time Code becomes inaccurate.
The Time Code Indication counter may not be constant in the
reverse direction in Slow Motion Playback Mode, but this is
not a malfunction.
The Remaining Tape Time Indication disappears.
When you record still pictures in Photoshot Mode, the
Remaining Tape Time Indication may disappear temporarily.
However, it reappears when the Camera/Recorder is set
back to Normal Recording Mode.
The Remaining Tape Time Indication does not match the
actual remaining tape time.
≥If scenes of less than 15 seconds are continuously
recorded, the remaining tape time cannot be displayed
correctly.
≥In some cases, the Remaining Tape Time Indication may
show remaining tape time that is 2 to 3 minutes shorter
than the actual remaining tape time.

list below for Problems and Solutions.
Problems
Solutions
Images cannot be played back even when the [1] Button
is pressed.
Is the [VCR] Lamp on? If the [VCR] Lamp is not on, the
playback function cannot be used.
Mosaic-like noise patterns appear on images during
Cue, Review or Slow Motion Playback.
This phenomenon is characteristic of digital video systems. It
is not a malfunction.
Although the Camera/Recorder is correctly connected to
a TV, playback images cannot be seen.
Have you selected Video Input on the TV? Please read the
operating instructions of your TV and select the channel that
matches the input jacks used for the connection.
Playback image is not clear.
Are the heads of the Camera/Recorder dirty? If the heads
are dirty, playback image cannot be clear.
No sound is played back from the built-in speaker or
headphones of the Camera/Recorder.
Is the volume too low? During playback, continue pressing
the [PUSH] Dial until the [VOLUME] Indication appears.
Then, rotate the [PUSH] Dial to adjust the volume.
Different sounds are reproduced at the same time.
[AUDIO] on the [PLAYBACK FUNCTIONS] Sub-Menu of the
[VCR FUNCTIONS] Main-Menu has been set to [MIX]. As a
result, the original sound and sound that was recorded by
audio dubbing are played back together. It is possible to
reproduce the sounds separately.
The original sound was erased when audio dubbing was
performed.
If you perform audio dubbing on a recording done in [16bit]
Mode, the original sound will be erased. If you want to
preserve the original sound, be sure to select [12bit] Mode at
the time of recording.
Sounds cannot be played back.
≥Although a Cassette with no audio dubbing is being played,
is [AUDIO] on the [PLAYBACK FUNCTIONS] Sub-Menu of
the [VCR FUNCTIONS] Main-Menu set to [ST2]? To play
back a Cassette with no audio dubbing, [AUDIO] must be
set to [ST1].
≥Is the Variable Speed Search Function working? Press the
[1] Button to cancel the Variable Speed Search Function.
The recorded picture on the Memory Card is not clear.
Card Photoshot playback pictures do not look normal.
Even if a Card is formatted, it cannot be used.

set to [ECONOMY]? If recording is done with it set to
[ECONOMY], a detailed image may show a mosaic pattern.
Set the [REC MODE] to [NORMAL] or [FINE]. (l 34)
There is a possibility that the images are damaged.
To prevent the loss of image data, we recommend that you
back images up on a Cassette or personal computer.
(l 36)
There is a possibility of damage to either the Camera/
Recorder or the Card. Please contact Panasonic Call Center.
