Recording Video and Photos
This section explains the basics of recording clips* and photos. For details on recording audio, refer to Recording
Audio (A 82).
Before making important recordings for the first time, make test recordings using the video configuration(s) you
plan to use to check that the camcorder operates correctly. Should the camcorder fail to operate correctly, refer
to Troubleshooting (A 156).
* "Clip" refers to a single movie unit recorded with a single recording operation.
