Shooting the moon with any Digital -SLR is pretty much the same. A 300mm lens will get acceptable results, longer lenses of 500mm or more will get more of the frame filled.
A common thought is that because it is a nighttime shot and a long distance object it should be shot with slow shutter speed and high aperture number when the opposite is the case.
In manual mode at 100 ISO. Daylight white balance. Tripod optional.
A fast shutter speed is used to maintain sharpness, the moon is a moving object. It is also a very bright object on a dark background so it doesn't need a long exposure time. Start with a aperture of f/4 and experiment with shutter speeds to get a slightly Under exposed image. Don't go by the camera's metering.

If you have the lens focus set to 3'...it means that anything closer than 3 feet to the camera will not be in sharp focus. Infinity is the setting to use for really far distant objects like the Moon or mountains.

Some of the semi-pro camcorders from Canon and Sony have Line and Mic inputs. The mid range and lower consumers camcorders usually have a bi-directional A/V (Audio Video) cable that does dual duty. When the camcorder is in VTR mode for playback it is a out cable, when in record it becomes a input line. Most camcorders disable or use the A/V cable as a output only when in camera mode.

Along the side of the card is tiny slider switch that can easily get flipped to the ON position that write protects the card. Moving it to the OFF position should take of the problem.
