Tape Counter

The tape counter helps you locate a place on the tape. Record the tape counter reading at the beginning and end of each recording session for future reference. Press COUNTER RESET whenever the tape counter is displayed to reset the counter to “0000”.

Tape Counter with Memory Stop

The tape counter’s memory-stop feature helps locate a certain point on the tape. This is useful if you want to review a section immediately after recording or repeatedly play back a segment of the tape. When memory stop is turned on, the tape will stop automatically during fast-forward or rewind when the time counter reaches “M0000”.

To use memory stop:

1.Repeatedly press COUNTER DISPLAY to display tape counter with memory stop (“M” appears with tape counter when memory stop is on).

2.Locate the place on the tape you want to return to, and press COUNTER RESET to reset tape counter to “M0000”.

3.Continue to record or play the tape. When you want to return to the place you marked, press the thumb trigger to stop recording (or press STOP to stop playback).

4.Make sure the CAMERA/VCR switch is in VCR. Then press REW (rewind). The tape will rewind until it reaches the time counter reading of “M0000”.

Note: Whenever the tape counter with memory stop is displayed in the viewfinder, the camcorder will stop rewinding or fast- forwarding when the counter reaches “M0000”. To continue rewinding or fast- forwarding the tape, press REW (rewind) or F.FWD (fast-forward) again.
