Precaution on copyright
Television programs, films, video tapes, and other materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized recording of such materials may be contrary to the provision of the
copyright laws.
Precautions on camcorder care
• The LCD screen and/or the color viewfinder are manufactured using highprecision technology. However, there may be some tiny black points and/or
bright points (red, blue or green in color) that constantly appear on the LCD
screen or in the viewfinder. These points are normal in the manufacturing
process and do not affect the recorded picture in any way. Over 99.99% are
operational for effective use.
•Do not let the camcorder get wet. Keep the camcorder away from rain and sea water.
Letting the camcorder get wet may cause the unit to malfunction, and sometimes this
malfunction cannot be repaired [a].
•Never leave the camcorder exposed to temperatures above 140°F (60°C), such as in a
car parked in the sun or under direct sunlight [b].
[a] [b]
Contents of the recording cannot be compensated if recording or playback is not
made due to a malfunction of the camcorder, video tape, etc.

Getting started
Charging and installing the battery pack
Before using your camcorder, you first need to charge and install the battery pack. To
charge the battery pack, use the supplied AC power adaptor.
This camcorder operates with the “InfoLITHIUM” battery. If you use any other battery
to operate your camcorder, the camcorder may not operate or the battery life may be
shortened.
“InfoLITHIUM” is a trade mark of Sony Corporation.
Charging the battery pack
Charge the battery pack on a flat surface without vibration.
(1) Connect the power cord to a wall outlet.
(2) Align the surface of the battery pack indicated by the z mark with the edge of
the terminal shutter of the AC power adaptor. Then fit and slide the battery
pack in the direction of the arrow. The CHARGE lamp (orange) lights up.
Charging begins.
When the CHARGE lamp goes out, normal charge is completed. For full charge,
which allows you to use the battery longer than usual, leave the battery pack in place
for approximately one hour. Unplug the unit from the wall outlet, then remove the
battery pack and install it into the camcorder. You can also use the battery pack before it
is completely charged.

•When you record a tape in LP mode on this camcorder, we recommend you to play
the tape on this camcorder. When you play back the tape on other camcorders or
VCRs, noise may occur on a picture or sound.
Noise may occur also when you play on this camcorder the tape recorded in LP mode
on other camcorders or VCRs.
Note on recording
When you record from the beginning of a tape, run the tape for about 15 seconds before
starting the actual recording. This will ensure that you won’t miss any start-up scenes
when you play back the tape.
Camera recording
Notes on the tape counter
•The tape counter indicates the recording or playback time. Use it as a guide. There will
be a time lag of several seconds from the actual time. To set the counter to zero, press
COUNTER RESET.
•If the tape is recorded in SP and LP modes mixed, the tape counter shows incorrect
recording time. When you intend to edit the tape using the tape counter as a guide,
record in same (SP or LP) mode.

Note on the AUTO DATE feature
The clock is set to East Coast Standard Time at the factory. You can reset the clock in the
menu system. You can change the AUTO DATE settings by selecting ON or OFF in the
menu system. The AUTO DATE feature shows the date automatically once a day.
However, the date may automatically appear more than once a day when:
– you reset the date and time.
– you eject and insert the tape again.
– you stop recording within 10 seconds.
– you set AUTO DATE to OFF once and set it to ON again in the menu system.
Notes on finder power save
•The recording continues even when the picture in the viewfinder disappears during

Camera recording
Using the zoom feature
Zooming is a recording technique that lets you change the size of the subject in the
scene.
For more professional-looking recordings, use the zoom function sparingly.
“T” side: for telephoto (subject appears closer)
“W” side: for wide-angle (subject appears farther away)
W
T
W

T
Zooming speed (Variable speed zooming)
Move the power zoom lever a little for a slower zoom, move it further for a faster zoom.
When you shoot a subject using a telephoto zoom
If you cannot get a sharp focus while in extreme telephoto zoom, move the power zoom
lever to the “W” side until the focus is sharp. You can shoot a subject that is at least
about 2 5/8 feet (about 80cm) away from the lens surface in the telephoto position, or
about 1/2 inch (about 1cm) away in the wide-angle position.
Notes on digital zoom
•More than 15x zoom is performed digitally (x30), and the picture quality deteriorates
as you go toward the “T” side. If you do not want to use the digital zoom, set the D
ZOOM function to OFF in the menu system.
•The right side [a] in the power zoom indicator shows the digital zooming zone, and
the left side [b] shows the optical zooming zone. If you set the D ZOOM function to
OFF, the [a] zone disappears.

manipulate the controls with your thumb [a].
•Place your right elbow against your side.
•Place your left hand under the camcorder to support it. Be sure not to touch the builtin microphone.
