Easy Camera Recording with Full Auto Mode

Before you start recording, perform the operations described on pages 7 through 17 to prepare your VIEWCAM for recording.

Note:

•When recording at the beginning of a tape, advance the tape about 15 seconds before you begin recording. This will prevent the beginning of the recording being cut off when it is played back.

To Pause Recording

Press the REC START/STOP button again. Recording pauses, and the VIEWCAM enters the Recording Standby mode.

To Turn the Power Off

Slide the Power switch to

OFF.

Notes:

•The speaker is off in Camera mode.

•Battery power is consumed in Recording Standby mode. Turn off the power if you will not be recording again soon.

•If the VIEWCAM is kept in Recording Standby mode for more than approximately 5 minutes, the power will automatically turn off to save battery power and to protect the tape from being damaged. To continue recording after this, set the Power switch to OFF, and then back to CAMERA.
