Using the camcorder
Do not hold the camcorder by the following parts, and also do not hold the camcorder by the jack covers.
Shoe cover
LCD Screen
GB
Battery pack
The camcorder is not dustproofed, dripproofed or waterproofed. See “About handling of your camcorder” (p. 106).
Even if the camcorder is turned off, the GPS function is working as long as the GPS switch is set to ON. Make sure that the GPS switch is set to OFF during take off and landing of an airplane (HDR-CX350VE/XR350VE).
Menu items, LCD panel, and lens
A menu item that is grayed out is not available under the current recording or playback conditions.
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.
Black points
White, red, blue or green points
Exposing the LCD screen or the lens to direct sunlight for long periods of time may cause malfunctions.
Do not aim at the sun. Doing so might cause your camcorder to malfunction. Take images of the sun only in low light conditions, such as at dusk.
About language setting
The on-screen displays in each local language are used for illustrating the operating procedures. Change the screen language before using the camcorder if necessary (p. 16).
On recording
To ensure stable operation of the memory card, it is recommended to initialize the memory card with your camcorder before the first use (p. 79). Initializing the memory card will erase all the data stored on it and the data will be irrecoverable. Save your important data on your PC etc.
Before starting to record, test the recording function to make sure the image and sound are recorded without any problems.
Compensation for the contents of recordings cannot be provided, even if recording or playback is not possible due to a malfunction of the camcorder, recording media, etc.
TV color systems differ depending on the country/region. To view your recordings on a TV, you need a PAL system-based TV.
Television programs, films, video tapes, and other materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized recording of such materials may be contrary to the copyright laws.
Notes on playing back
The camcorder is compatible with MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 High Profile for high definition image quality (HD) recording. Therefore, you cannot play back images recorded with high definition image quality (HD) on the camcorder with the following devices;
Other AVCHD format compatible devices which are not compatible with High Profile
Devices which are not compatible with the AVCHD format
You may not be able to play back normally images recorded on your camcorder with other devices. Also, you may not be able to play back images recorded on other devices with your camcorder.
Standard (STD) image quality movies recorded on SD memory cards cannot be played on AV equipment of other manufacturers.
Discs recorded with HD image quality (high definition)
This camcorder captures high definition footage in the AVCHD format. DVD media containing AVCHD footage should not be used with DVD based players or recorders, as the DVD player/ recorder may fail to eject the media and may erase its contents without warning. DVD media containing AVCHD footage may be played on a compatible Blu-ray Disc player/recorder or other compatible device.
Save all your recorded image data
To prevent your image data from being lost, save all your recorded images on external media periodically. It is recommended that you save the image data on a disc such as DVD-R, etc. using your computer. Also, you can save your image data using a VCR, or a DVD/HDD recorder (p. 54).
You cannot make a AVCHD disc from the image data recorded with (MENU) [Show others] [REC MODE] (under
[SHOOTING SET] category) set to [HD FX]. Save them on a Blu-ray Disc or using an external media (p. 52).
Notes on battery pack/AC Adaptor
Be sure to remove the battery pack or the AC Adaptor after turning off the camcorder.
Disconnect the AC Adaptor from the camcorder, holding both the camcorder and the DC plug.
Note on the camcorder/battery pack temperature
When the temperature of the camcorder or battery pack becomes extremely high or
extremely low, you may not be able to record or play back on the camcorder, due to the protection features of the camcorder being
activated in such situations. In this case, an |
|
indicator appears on the LCD screen (p. 92). |
GB |
When the camcoder is connected to a computer or accessories
Do not try to format the recording media of the camcorder using a computer. If you do so, your camcorder may not operate correctly.
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.
If you cannot record/play back images, perform [MEDIA FORMAT]
If you repeat recording/deleting images for a long time, fragmentation of data occurs on the recording media. Images cannot be saved or recorded. In such a case, save your images
on some type of external media first, and then perform [MEDIA FORMAT] by touching
(MENU) [Show others]
[MEDIA FORMAT] (under [MANAGE MEDIA] category) the desired medium [YES] [YES] .
Notes on optional accessories
We recommend using genuine Sony accessories.
Genuine Sony accessories may not be available in some countries/regions.
About this manual, illustrations and on-screen displays
The example images used in this manual for illustration purposes are captured using a digital still camera, and therefore may appear different from images and screen indicators that actually appear on your camcorder. And, the illustrations of your camcorder and its screen indication are exaggerated or simplified for understandability.
In this manual, the internal memory (HDRCX300E/CX305E/CX350E/CX350VE/CX370E) and the hard disk (HDR-XR350E/XR350VE) of the camcorder and the memory card are called “recording media.”
In this manual, the DVD disc recorded with
GB
high definition image quality (HD) is called AVCHD disc.
Design and specifications of your camcorder and accessories are subject to change without notice.
Confirm the model name of your camcorder
The model name is shown in this manual when there is a difference in specification between models. Confirm the model name on the bottom of your camcorder.
The main differences in specification of this series are as follows.

Do not do any of the following. Otherwise, the recording media may be damaged, recorded images may be impossible to play back or may be lost, or other malfunctions could occur.
ejecting the memory card when the access lamp (p. 19) is lit or flashing
removing the battery pack or AC Adaptor from the camcorder, or applying mechanical
shock or vibration to the camcorder when the (Movie)/ (Photo) lamps (p. 20) or the
access lamp (p. 19) are lit or flashing
When using a shoulder belt (sold separately), do not crash the camcorder against an object.
Do not use your camcorder in very loud areas.
On the drop sensor (HDR-XR350E/
XR350VE)
To protect the internal hard disk from shock by dropping, the camcorder has a drop sensor function (p. 84). When a drop occurs, or under a non-gravity condition, the block noise made when this function is activated by the camcorder may also be recorded. If the drop sensor catches a drop repeatedly, recording/ playback may be stopped.
Note on using the camcorder at high altitudes (HDR-XR350E/XR350VE)
Do not turn on the camcorder in a low-pressure area, where the altitude is more than 5,000 meters (16,000 feet). Doing so may damage the internal hard disk drive of your camcorder.

To get good results in recording
Stabilizing your camcorder
When you hold the camcorder, keep your upper body upright, and hold your arms close to your body.
The SteadyShot function is effective against camera-shake, however, it is essential that you not move the camcorder.
Zooming smoothly
Zoom in and out slowly and smoothly. And, use zooming sparingly. Excessive zooming will make movies that may make the viewer feel tired when viewing them.
Evoking a feeling of spaciousness
Use the panning technique. Stabilize yourself, move your camcorder horizontally as you turn your upper body slowly. Stay still at the end of panning for a while to make the scene look stable.
Accentuating movies with narration
Consider the sound to be recorded with your movies. Narrate the subject, or talk to the subject during shooting.
Aim for a balanced volume of voices, since the recording person is closer to the microphone than the recorded person.
Using accessories
Make good use of camcorder accessories.
For example, using a tripod, you can make a time-lapse recording or record subjects in dim light, such as scenes of fireworks, or night views. By always carrying spare batteries, you can continue recording without worrying about battery power shortages.
