Recording
The operations described in this section assume
that you are using the supplied or optional
exclusive lens. The displays and menu settings
may differ when a non-exclusive lens is used.
Basic recording with the exclusive lens can be
performed with the following procedures:
Preparations
1 Mount a fully charged battery pack.
2 Load SxS memory card(s).
If you load two cards, recording is continued
by automatically switching to the second
card when the first card becomes full.
3 Pull up on the lens cap open/close lever
to open the lens cap built in the lens
hood.
4 Adjust the viewfinder for best viewing.
5 Set the power switch to the CAMERA
position.
The camcorder is turned on and enters
Camera mode.
When using the remote commander, activate the remote
control mode (page 41).
Note
When you hold the camcorder by the grip,
support it from underneath with your left hand.
