FCC/IC NOTICE
HD Camcorder, VIXIA HF R42 / VIXIA HF R40 / VIXIA HF R400 systems
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two condition
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and use in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Use of shielded cable is required to comply with class B limits in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules.
Do not make any changes or modifications to the equipment unless otherwise specified in the manual.
If such changes or modifications should be made, you could be required to stop operation of the
equipment.
Model ID0019 (including WLAN Module Model WM217, FCC ID: AZD217)
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to th
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using
low-power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are
absolutely safe. Low-power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the
microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating
tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse
health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some
studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been
confirmed by additional research. This model has been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC
radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency
(RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF)
Exposure rules.

overseas travels or special power sources such as those on aircraft and
ships, DC-AC inverters, etc.
NOTES
• We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between
10 °C and 30 °C (50 °F and 86 °F). If either the ambient temperature or
the battery pack’s temperature is outside the range of approx. 0 °C to
40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F), charging will not start.
• If the ambient temperature or the battery pack’s temperature is low,
charging may take longer than usual.
• The battery pack will be charged only when the camcorder is off.
• If the power supply was disconnected while charging a battery pack,
make sure the POWER/CHG indicator has gone out before restoring
the power supply.
• If remaining battery time is an issue, you can power the camcorder
using the compact power adapter so the battery pack will not be con-
sumed.
• Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore,
charge them on the day of use, or the day before, to ensure a full
charge.
• Battery packs for this camcorder can display the remaining battery time.
The first time you use a battery pack, fully charge it and then use the
camcorder until the battery pack is completely exhausted. Doing so will
ensure that the remaining recording time will be displayed accurately.
• We recommend that you prepare battery packs to last 2 to 3 times
longer than you think you might need.

[ Optical] For optical zoom, the camcorder uses the optical
magnification ratio of the lens.
[ Advanced] For advanced zoom, the camcorder processes
the image beyond the range of the optical zoom to obtain a
larger zoom without any deterioration in image quality. At full wide
angle, the angle of view with advanced zoom is wider than the
angle of view with optical zoom.
[ Digital] For digital zoom (light blue area on the zoom bar),
the image is processed digitally so image quality will deteriorate

Advanced Shooting
This chapter covers advanced shooting functions, such as Spe-
cial Scene modes and Baby mode. For details about basic
video shooting, refer to Basic Shooting and Playback (A41).
Selecting the Movie Format (AVCHD/MP4)
You can choose to record movies in AVCHD or MP4 format. AVCHD
movies are ideal for playback with fantastic picture quality. MP4 mov-
ies are versatile and can easily be played back on smartphones or
uploaded to the Web.
Operating modes:
Selecting the Video Quality
The camcorder offers several video quality options (measured by bit
rate*) for recording movies. For AVCHD movies, select 60P or MXP
mode for higher quality and select LP for longer recording times. Simi-
larly, for MP4 movies, select 35 Mbps or 24 Mbps mode for higher
quality and 4 Mbps mode for longer recording times. If you select 60P
or 35 Mbps, movies will be recorded at 60P frames per second, pro-
gressive.
The table after the following procedure gives approximate recording
times.
* Bit rate indicates how much information is recorded in 1 second of video and also
affects recording time available on the memory. Movies with higher bit rates will
have higher video quality while those with lower bit rates will have smaller file sizes,
allowing you to record longer and upload more quickly.

2.0 specifications to copy those movies onto Blu-ray discs.
• Depending on the portable device, you may not be able to play back
your recordings.
• The camcorder uses a variable bit rate (VBR) to encode video so the
actual recording times will vary depending on the subject.
• The following types of MP4 scenes will be recognized as multiple files
on other devices.
- Scenes exceeding 4 GB
- Scenes recorded at 35 Mbps exceeding 30 minutes
- Scenes recorded at a video quality other than 35 Mbps exceeding

built-in memory.
Operating modes:
6 4/ Dual Recording and Relay Recording
When you record, you can use dual recording to record an MP4 movie
that has the same image as the scene being recorded. The MP4 movie
is saved on the memory not currently selected for recording. Because
the resulting movie is in MP4 format, it is ideal for transferring to
another device or uploading to the Web.
You can activate the relay recording so if the assigned memory
becomes full while recording movies, the recording will continue unin-
terrupted on the other memory.

At times, backlit subjects may appear too dark (underexposed) or sub-
jects under very strong lights may appear too bright or glaring (overex-
posed). To correct this, you can adjust the exposure manually or use
the Touch AE function to automatically set the optimal exposure for the
subject you select. This is convenient when the brightness of the sub-
ject you want to shoot is noticeably brighter/darker than the general
brightness of the image.
