Camcorder Features

Electronic Indexing

Each time you begin recording (after the camcorder has been turned off for at least four hours), the camcorder will automatically record an index mark at the beginning of the new recording.

When you play back the indexed tape in a VCR that has a compatible indexing feature called “VHS Index Search System,” the invisible marks can be located automatically. See your VCR owner’s manual for index playback instructions.

INDEX

Viewfinder Display

When DISPLAY is pressed so the display appears in the viewfinder, INDEX will appear briefly to let you know the camcorder is recording an index mark.

Note: The camcorder does not record index marks every time you stop and start recording. An index mark is recorded only once — at the start of each day’s recording session (or whenever the camcorder has been turned off for at least four hours).

Time Remaining Display

The time remaining display shows the amount of recording or playback time left on the tape in the camcorder.

Viewfinder Display

When DISPLAY is pressed so the display appears in the viewfinder, ”– – – – –” will appear for approximately ten seconds when you first start playing or recording a tape while the camcorder

calculates the time remaining. Once time remaining has been calculated, it will automatically be updated and readily available as long as the same tape remains in the camcorder.
