The still function allows you to pause playback.

During playback, press m on the Operation button.

To protect the tape, the camcorder automati- cally returns to normal playback if it is left in Still mode for more than 5 minutes.

The video search function makes it easy to search for a desired scene on the tape.

Searching for a Scene Far from the Current Tape Posi- tion

1 During fast forward (or rewind), press and hold k (or j) on the Operation button.

The fast forward (or rewind) picture displays.

2 If the scene is still rather far from the current tape position, release the Operation button to normal fast forward (or rewind).

3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 above until you find the scene.

4 Press m to begin normal playback.

Notes:

The sound is off during search.

You may experience picture noise during search. This is not a malfunction.
