Others 71LSQT0973 ≥Dust, direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays), and humidity may damage the tape. Such usage may cause damage to the Camcorder and the heads. ≥After use, be sure to rewind the tape to the beginning, put the cassette in the case to protect it from dust, and store it upright. Keep the cassette away from strong magnetism. ≥Objects using magnets such as magnetic necklaces and toys having a magnetic force that is stronger than expected, may erase the contents of a recording or may increase noise. ª About the cardWhen inserting or removing the card, always set the [OFF/ON] switch to [OFF]. When the access lamp is illuminated (during access to the card), do not open the card slot cover to pull out the card, turn off the power, or cause any vibrations or impact. Do not leave the card in places where there is high temperature or direct sunlight, or where electromagnetic waves or static electricity are easily generated. Moreover, do not fold or drop the card. ≥The card may break or the contents of the card may be destroyed or erased. After use, be sure to remove the card from the Camcorder for storage. ≥After use, or when storing or carrying the card, put it in the storage case. ≥Do not allow dust, water, or foreign substances to adhere to the terminals on the back of the card. Moreover, do not touch the terminals with your hand. ≥Keep the Memory Card out of reach of children to prevent swallowing. ª Folder structure of the cardThe folder structure of the card formatted by the Camcorder will be displayed on the PC as the illustration below. ≥Up to 999 pictures can be recorded on 100CDPFP folder etc. ≥Files with the DPOF settings can be recorded on MISC folder.ª LCD monitor/ViewfinderLCD monitor ≥When the LCD monitor gets dirty, wipe it with a dry soft cloth. ≥In a place with drastic temperature changes, condensation may form on the LCD monitor. Wipe it with soft dry cloth. ≥If your Camcorder is extremely cold, the LCD monitor is slightly darker than usual immediately after you turn the power on. However, as the internal temperature increases, it goes back to normal brightness. Viewfinder ª Periodical check-ups≥To maintain the highest image quality, we recommend replacing worn parts such as heads after approx. 1000 hours of use. (This, however, depends on operating conditions including temperature, humidity and dust.) 256 Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD monitor screen featuring a total of approximately 113,000 pixels. The result is more than 99.99% effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded picture.

Others 72LSQT0973 Explanation of terms ªAutomatic white balanceWhite balance adjustment recognizes the color of light and adjusts so the white color will become a pure white. The Camcorder determines the hue of light that comes through the lens and white balance sensor, thereby judging the recording condition, and selects the closest hue setting. This is called automatic white balance adjustment. However, since the Camcorder only stores white color information under several light sources, automatic white balance adjustment does not function normally under the other light sources. Outside of the effective range of automatic white balance adjustment, the image will become reddish or bluish. Even within the effective range of automatic white balance adjustment, the automatic white balance adjustment may not function properly if there is more than one light source. For light outside the functional auto white balance adjustment range, use the manual white balance adjustment mode. 1) The effective range of automatic white balance adjustment on this Camcorder 2) Blue sky 3) Cloudy sky (rain) 4) TV screen 5) Sunlight 6) White fluorescent lamp 7) Halogen light bulb 8) Incandescent light bulb 9) Sunrise or sunset 10) Candlelight ª White balanceThe image recorded by the Camcorder may become bluish or reddish under the influence of light sources. To avoid such phenomena, adjust the white balance.White balance adjustment determines the white color under different light sources. By recognizing which is the white color under sunlight and which is the white color under a fluorescent lamp, the Camcorder can adjust the balance among the other colors. Since white color is the reference of all colors (light), the Camcorder can record pictures in a natural hue if it can recognize the reference white color. ª Auto focusAuto focus automatically moves the focusing lens forward and backward inside the Camcorder to bring the subject into focus. Auto focus has the following characteristics. ≥Adjusts so that the vertical lines of a subject are seen more clearly. ≥Attempts to bring an object with higher contrast into focus. ≥Focuses on the screen center only. Due to these characteristics, auto focus does not work correctly in the following situations. Record pictures in the manual focus mode. Recording a subject with one end located closer to the Camcorder and the other end farther away from it ≥As auto focus adjusts at the center of an image, it may be impossible to focus on a subject that is located in both the foreground and background. Recording a subject behind dirty or dusty glass ≥The subject behind the glass will not be focused because the focus is on the dirty glass. Recording a subject that is surrounded by objects with glossy surfaces or by highly reflective objects ≥The recording subject may become blurry because the Camcorder focuses on the objects with glossy surfaces or on highly reflective objects. Recording a subject in dark surroundings ≥The Camcorder cannot focus correctly because the light information that comes through the lens decreases considerably. Recording a fast-moving subject ≥As the focus lens-inside moves mechanically, it cannot keep up with a fast-moving subject. Recording a subject with little contrast ≥A subject with little contrast, such as a white wall, may become blurry because the Camcorder achieves focus based upon the vertical lines of an image. 10 000K 9 000K 8 000K 7 000K 6 000K 5 000K 4 000K 3 000K 2 000K 1 000K2) 1)3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) LSQT0973ENG.book 72 ページ 2006年1月30日 月曜日 午前11時40分
