Description
Camera Mode Blue This is the camera shooting mode. The camera recorder starts up in Camera mode when the power is turned on.

Mode SD Card
Mode Green This mode allows you to play back or delete clips recorded on the SDHC card.
Press the [CAM/MEDIA] selection button to enter SD Card mode when you are not shooting in Camera mode.
Once the camera recorder is in SD Card mode, thumbnails of the selected media slot are displayed.
IEEE1394
Mode Orange This is the input mode for video images from the IEEE1394-connected equipment.
The camera recorder enters IEEE1394 mode when you press the [CAM/MEDIA] selection button while the
power of the equipment connected to the [IEEE1394] terminal is turned on during thumbnail display in Media
mode (SD Card mode).
Once the camera recorder is in IEEE1394 mode, the playback images of the connected equipment are displayed.
However, if the IEEE1394 connection is not recognized (such as when the power of the IEEE1394-connected
equipment is not turned on), the camera recorder will switch to Camera mode instead.
Press the [CAM/MEDIA] selection button during IEEE1394 mode to switch to Camera mode.
If the power of the equipment connected to the [IEEE1394] terminal is OFF or if connection is canceled in
IEEE1394 mode, the camera recorder will not automatically switch to other modes. To quit IEEE1394 mode,
you must operate the [CAM/MEDIA] selection button.
Note:
● This mode is used for viewing images input to the [IEEE1394] terminal from an external device, and not
intended for recording input images on the camera recorder.
USB Mode Orange This mode allows you to connect to a PC and transfer the files on an SDHC card to the PC.
When the camera recorder is connected to a USB cable, the message
AChange to USB ModeB appears.
Select [Change] and press the Set button ( R) to switch to USB mode. (A Page 118)
In USB mode, the camera recorder is recognized by the connected PC as a peripheral drive (USB mass
storage class only). Disable the connection on the PC and remove the USB cable from the camera recorder to
switch to Camera mode. (A Page 118)
Memo:
● When a USB cable is connected, the message appears after recording stops.
● If playback is in progress, the message appears once the files are closed automatically, such as when
playback stops.
