Recording and playback
precautions
Recording operation in high-
vibration environments
• If the unit is exposed to a constant
vibration during operation, recording or
playback may be stopped to protect the
HDD. In such cases, integrity of the data
during vibration is not guaranteed.
• If recording is stopped due to vibration,
you may need to restore the HDD to start
recording again after removing the
source of vibration. However, the data
recorded immediately before the forced
stop may be lost even after HDD
restoration. The duration of data that
cannot be restored differs depending on
the camcorder model and recording
mode.
For more information on restoring the HDD,
refer to the section on memory card restoration in
the operating instructions of your camcorder.
Recording operation and data
integrity when battery power is low
or power is cut off
• When the remaining battery capacity is
low, the BATTERY indicator flashes. If
you continue to use the unit, the unit
automatically stops recording for safety
and eventually powers itself off.
For more information on the BATTERY indicator
flashing, see "Status Indications" (page 24).
• If the battery pack or battery charger is
disconnected during recording, integrity
of the data recorded is not guaranteed. All
of the data stored on the HDD may be
damaged.
