RECORDING THE DATE AND TIME ON A TAPE

You can select a date/time recording option by repeatedly pressing DATE/TIME. Each time you press DATE/TIME, you see one of the following options:

• and the date — the camcorder automatically records the date on the first 10 seconds of the first recording of the day.

•Date only — the camcorder continuously records the date.

•No date/time display — the camcorder does not record the date or time.

•Time and date — the camcorder continu- ously records the date and time.

Notes:

•The camcorder records the same date when:

–You replace the cassette

–You select another date/time option, then select the auto date option

–The previous recording was less than 10 seconds long

•If the date changes while recording con- tinues for more than 10 seconds, the new date is recorded at the beginning of the next recording.
