When the DISC access indicator is on or flashing do not perform the following
actions. Doing so may result in permanent data loss.

- Do not open the disc cover and do not remove the disc.
- Do not disconnect the power source or turn off the camcorder.

About the recording time: By changing the recording mode you can change
the recording time available on the disc ( 61).
When recording in bright places it may be difficult to use the LCD screen. In
such case, use the viewfinder instead.
When recording in very loud places (such as fireworks shows or concerts),
sound may become distorted or it may not be recorded at the actual levels. This
is not a malfunction.
Before You Begin Recording
Make a test recording first to check if the camcorder operates correctly. Since
recordings made on a DVD-R cannot be deleted, we recommend you use a DVD-RW
disc (commercially available) to make the test recordings.
