Tape-Remaining Display

The camcorder will advance through the tape and look for a blank section. This helps you locate the end of the last recorded section.

1.Place the camcorder in record-pause in the CAM mode or stop in the VCR mode to blank search.

2.Press the BLANK button. The camcorder will fast-forward or rewind the tape to the end of the recorded section and enter record-pause or stop.

Notes: Make sure the camcorder has stopped at the point where you want to begin recording. If there are blank sections of tape between recordings that are 60 seconds long, the camcorder may stop at this point.

The camcorder will automatically calculate the amount of recording time left on the tape in the camcorder during recording or playback.

The tape-remaining indicator will appear in the viewfinder or LCD monitor when you reach the halfway point of the tape.

and appear as you near the end of the tape. TAPE END flashes when you reach the end of the tape.
