Index Search Functions
To facilitate searching of desired scene, this Palmcorder automatically 
records index signals during recording, as explained in the following.
PhotoShot Index Signal
These signals are automatically recorded whenever still pictures are taken in 
PhotoShot Mode (l21).
When recording still pictures using the Continuous PhotoShot Mode (l21), 
the index signal is not recorded.
Scene Index Signal
Scene Index Signals are automatically recorded when you start recording 
after inserting a Cassette.
However, if the Palmcorder is switched from the VCR Mode to Camera Mode 
or if the date and time is set before the start of recording, the index signal is 
not recorded.
≥If [INDEX] of [RECORDING SETUP] Sub-Menu on the 
[CAMERA FUNCTIONS] Main-Menu is set to [2HOUR], an index signal is 
recorded when Recording is restarted after a lapse of 2 hours or longer. If it 
is set to [DAY], an index signal is recorded when recording is restarted after 
the date has changed since the last recording. (While the index signal is 
recorded, the [INDEX] Indication 
1 flashes for a few seconds.)

Special Features
Using a Memory Card
A Card can be used to record files or play back files.
≥Use genuine SD Memory Card or MultiMediaCard only.
ªInserting a Card
Before inserting a Card, be sure to turn off the Palmcorder.
1Slide the [OPEN] Lever to the right and open the Card Slot 
Cover.
2While holding the Card with its cut corner facing right 1, 
insert it into the Card Slot.
3Close the Card Slot Cover.
Taking out a Card
Open the Card Slot cover and push the side of the card in the middle and 
then pull it straight out to remove the card.
≥After removing the card, close the Card Slot cover.
ª[ACCESS] Lamp
While the Palmcorder is accessing the Card (reading, recording, playback, 
erasing, moving of images), the [ACCESS] Lamp 
2 lights up.
≥While the [ACCESS] Lamp is on, never attempt to: open the Card Slot 
Cover, pull out the Card, turn off the Palmcorder power, or switch the 
[TAPE/CARD] Selector. Such actions will damage the Card and cause the 
Palmcorder to malfunction.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Recording on the Memory Card
Three kinds of data can be recorded by selecting with the 
[STILL/MPEG4/VOICE] Selector. When recording still pictures, select [STILL] 
(Card PhotoShot), when recording moving pictures, select [MPEG4] (MPEG4 
Recording), when recording voice, select [VOICE] (Voice Recorder Function).
≥If the [TAPE/CARD] Selector is set to [CARD], the Palmcorder is 
automatically turned off when you leave it for about 5 minutes without 
performing any PhotoShot recording.
≥When the [TAPE/CARD] Selector is set to [CARD], you cannot record to the 
Tape.
ªCard PhotoShot
Still pictures can be recorded on the Memory Card from the Palmcorder lens 
as well as from scenes that have already been recorded on a cassette.
The size of images that are recorded using this Palmcorder is approximately 
1,680,000 pixels. Recording of images with a size that is larger than a million 
pixels is called mega-pixel still-picture recording. Compared to images of 
normal recording, images that are created by mega-pixel still-picture 
recording can be printed out more clearly.
Recording from the Palmcorder Lens (Camera Mode)
1Slide the [TAPE/CARD] Selector to [CARD].
2Slide the [STILL/MPEG4/VOICE] Selector to [STILL].
3Set [CAMERA FUNCTIONS] >> [CARD SETUP] >>
