Using the camcorder
e camcorder is not dustproofed, dripproofed
or waterproofed. See “Precautions” (p. 31).
Do not do any of the following when the
(movie)/ (still image) lamps (p. 11) or
ACCESS lamps (p.
13, 18) is lit or ashing.
Otherwise the media may be damaged, recorded
images may be lost or other malfunctions could
occur.
Remove the “Memory Stick PRO Duo.”
Remove the battery pack or AC Adaptor from
the camcorder.
Apply mechanical shock or vibration to the
camcorder.
When connecting your camcorder to another
device with a cable, be sure to insert the
connector plug in the correct way. Pushing the
plug forcibly into the terminal will damage the
5
terminal and may result in a malfunction of
your camcorder.
Do not apply shock or vibration to your
camcorder. e hard disk of the camcorder may
not be recognized, or recording or playback
may not be possible.
Do not use your camcorder in very loud areas.
e hard disk of the camcorder may not be
recognized, or recording may not be possible.
To protect the internal hard disk from shock
by dropping, the camcorder has drop sensor
function*. When a drop occurs, or under a non-
gravity condition, the block noise made when
this function is activated by the camcorder may
also be recorded. If the drop sensor catches a
drop repeatedly, recording/play back may be
stopped.
When the temperature of the camcorder
becomes extremely high or extremely low, you
may not be able to record or play back on the
camcorder, due to the protection features of the
camcorder being activated in such situations.
In this case, an indicator appears on the LCD
screen (p.
29).
Do not turn on the camcorder in a low-pressure
area, where the altitude is more than 3,000
meters (9,800 feet). Doing so may damage the
hard disk drive of your camcorder.
If you repeat recording/deleting images for a
long time, fragmentation of data occurs on the
media. Images cannot be saved or recorded. In
such a case, save your images on some type of
external media rst, and then perform [MEDIA
FORMAT]*.
Fasten the grip belt and hold your camcorder
correctly while recording.
To adjust the LCD panel, open the LCD panel
90 degrees to the camcorder (), then rotate it
to the best angle to record or play ().
You can rotate the LCD panel 180 degrees to
the lens side () to record in mirror mode.
e LCD screen is manufactured using
extremely high-precision technology, so over
99.99% of the pixels are operational for eective
use. However, there may be some tiny black
points and/or bright points (white, red, blue,
or green in color) that appear constantly on the
LCD screen. ese points are normal results of
the manufacturing process and do not aect the
recording in any way.
Remove the insulation sheet before using the
Remote Commander.
(DCR-SR55E/SR65E/SR75E/SR85E)
Types of “Memory Stick” you can use
with your camcorder
For recording movies, it is recommended that
you use a “Memory Stick PRO Duo” of 512 MB
or larger marked with:
(“Memory Stick
PRO Duo”)*
(“Memory Stick
PRO-HG Duo”)
* Marked with Mark2 or not are available.
A “Memory Stick PRO Duo” of up to 8 GB has
been conrmed to operate correctly with this
camcorder.
See page 12 for the recordable time of a
“Memory Stick PRO Duo.”
“Memory Stick PRO Duo” and “Memory Stick
PRO-HG Duo” are both called as “Memory
Stick PRO Duo” in this manual.

On recording
Before starting to record, test the recording
function to make sure the image and sound are
recorded without any problems.
Compensation for failure or loss of recording
cannot be provided, even if recording or
playback is not possible due to a malfunction of
the camcorder, recording media, etc.
TV color systems dier depending on the
country/region. To view your recordings on a
TV, you need a PAL system-based TV.
Television programs, lms, video tapes,
and other materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized recording of such materials may
be contrary to the copyright laws.
Save all your recorded image data
To prevent your image data from being lost,
save all your recorded images on external media
periodically. It is recommended that you save
the image data on a disc such as a DVD-R using
your computer*. Also, you can save your image
data using a VCR, or a DVD/HDD recorder*.
When the camcorder is connected to a
computer
Do not try to format the hard disk of the
camcorder using a computer. If you do so, your
camcorder may not operate correctly.
Note on disposal/transfer
If you perform [MEDIA FORMAT]* to format
the hard disk of the camcorder, data may not be
completely deleted from the hard disk. When
you transfer the camcorder, it is recommended
that you perform [ EMPTY]* to prevent the
recovery of your data.
In addition to the above, when you dispose of
the camcorder, it is recommended that you
destroy the actual body of the camcorder.
About language setting
e on-screen displays in each local language
are used for illustrating the operating
procedures. Change the screen language before
using your camcorder if necessary (p.
11).
About this manual
e LCD screens and indicators shown in this
manual were taken with a digital still camera,
and may look dierent from what you actually
see.
In this Operating Guide, the hard disk and
“Memory Stick PRO Duo” are called “media.”
Unless otherwise specically indicated,
illustrations in this manual are based on DCR-
SR85E.
e screenshots are from Windows Vista, and

    • Aan de rechter kant van het apparaat ziet u een klepje, schuif het naar rechts en zorg dat je een kabel hebt voor het onderste gaatje. De usb steekt u in de PC. Zet da camera aan en druk op het huisje, als u het menu voor u hebt zal u vanonder aan het scherm 5 pictogrammen hebben. de middelste (de derde) moet u hebben. nu gaat u een pagina naar onder e druk op usb connect. En vervolgens nog eens op usb connect. Het laden duurt normaal even. Dan zou u normaal het kunnen overzetten op u pc. Geantwoord op 12-8-2015 om 00:15
