Button

7.Select a recording speed and tape length.

Select SP or SLP recording speed. Press the SP-SLPbutton to select a recording speed. The speed selected

(SP or SLP) appears in the viewfinder.

•SP - Standard play provides the best picture, but the shortest recording time (20 minutes with a TC-20 tape).

•SLP - Extended play provides three times the recording time as SP (60 minutes with a TC-20 tape). SLP has slightly more picture noise in normal playback.

Set the length of the tape you are using so the camcorder can correctly calculate the recording time remaining on the tape.

Repeatedly press the T20o30,40 b atton to select a tape length.

•Select T20 if you are using a tape with 20 minutes or less recording time in SP.

•Select T30 if you are using a tape with 30 minutes recording time in SP.

•Select T40 if you are using a tape with 40 minutes recording time in SP.
