monitor and recording stops automatically to protect the HDD.
Turn off the camcorder, wait for a while, and start recording again.
Move away from a place where the camcorder is affected by
excessive sound or vibration (such as a concert hall).
A malfunction may occur in the HDD of the camcorder. In this
case, record to a microSD card.
Insert a commercially available microSD card, and set each of
the [REC MEDIA FOR VIDEO] and [REC MEDIA FOR IMAGE] to
[SD].
