Tips
•The amount of recording data may vary depending on the settings for image quality

and image size, and the type of images you are shooting.

•The recording data (date/time or various settings in effect when shooting) are not

displayed while recording. However, they are recorded automatically onto the disc.
To display the recording data, press DATA CODE on the Remote Commander during
playback.

•The angle of view for still images is slightly wider compared with the angle of view of

the movie mode (DCR-DVD200/DVD300 only).

•If you leave your camcorder powered by battery for 5 minutes while a disc is inserted,

your camcorder automatically turns off. This is to save battery power and to prevent
battery wear. Set the POWER switch to OFF (CHG) once, then set to ON, and your
camcorder is set to a standby mode. You can cancel the automatic power-off by setting
the 

 (SETUP MENU) – [A.SHUT OFF] menu item to [NEVER] in the SETUP

display.

Move the power zoom lever a little for a slower zoom. Move it further for a faster zoom.
