• Even if auto flash or (Auto redeye reduction) is selected, you cannot use the internal flash
with:
– NightShot
– [SUPER NS]
– [SPOTLIGHT], [SUNSET&MOON] or [LANDSCAPE] in [PROGRAM AE]

The external flash (optional) does not work.
• The power of the flash is not turned on, or the flash is not attached correctly.
You cannot record still images continuously.
• You cannot record still images continuously with your camcorder.
The actual recording time for movie is less than the expected approximate
recording time of a disc.
• Depending on an object, such as a fast moving object, the time available for recording may
shorten (p. 19, 82).
The recording stops.
• The temperature of your camcorder is extremely high. Turn off your camcorder and leave it
for a while in a cool place.
• Moisture condensation has occurred with the disc. Turn off your camcorder and leave it about
1 hour in a cool place (p. 136).
There is a time difference between the point where you press START/STOP and
the point that the recorded movie starts/stops.
• On your camcorder, there may be a slight time difference between the point where you press
START/STOP and the actual point that recording movie starts/stops. This is not a
malfunction.
The movie aspect ratio (16:9/4:3) cannot be changed.
• The aspect ratio of the movie recorded with HD (high definition) image quality is 16:9.
• The aspect ratio cannot be changed in DVD+RW recorded with SD (standard definition)
image quality. Format the disc again to change the aspect ratio.
