Quick Review Feature

Press and release VCR 55 when the camcorder is in record-pause to review the last few seconds of a recording. The POWER switch must be set to CAMERA.

The camcorder plays back the last few seconds of the recording, returns the tape to its previous position, and returns to record-pause.

Tally Light

The tally light lights when the camcorder is recording. The tally light flashes during self-timer and time-lapse recording.

The tally light must be set to ON in the TALLY LAMP menu. See page 54 for details.

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 might occur at the beginning or the end of recordings.

Auto Head Cleaner

The camcorder has an automatic head- cleaning system. Whenever you insert or remove a cassette, this system

is activated.

The head-cleaning system minimizes the need for accessory cleaners or cleaning by a Service Center.
