Recording
Tape-Remaining Display
The
Electronic Indexing
Each time you begin recording (after the camcorder has been turned off for at least four hours), the camcorder automatically records 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 are located automatically. See your VCR Owner’s Manual for index playback instructions.

INDEX Display
in Viewfinder
When the DISPLAY button is pressed so the displays appear, INDEX appears 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 four hours).
