Flying Erase Head

A separate erase head is mounted on the spinning headwheel (hence the term “flying”). This allows you to make clean edits without the “glitches” or “rainbow noise” that may occur at the beginning or the end of recordings.

Quick Review Feature

Press and release REW when the camcorder is in record-pause to review the last few seconds of a recording. Make sure the camcorder is in the CAM mode.

The camcorder will play back the last few seconds of the recording, return the tape to its previous position, and return to record pause.

Camera Edit Feature

The camera edit feature allows you to position the tape when the camcorder is

in record-pause. Make sure the camcorder is in the CAM mode.

•Press and hold REW to visually search the recorded tape in reverse.

•Press and hold F.FWD to visually search forward on the recorded tape.

Release the button to return the cam- corder to record-pause at that point on the tape. Press the thumb trigger (REC on remote) to start recording at this point.

DISPLAY Button

•Press the DISPLAY button when the camcorder is connected to a TV monitor to have the viewfinder or LCD monitor displays appear on the TV screen.

•These displays will be recorded during tape copying if they appear.

•Press DISPLAY again to remove the displays from the TV screen.
