This allows you to move quickly through still pictures recorded anywhere on a tape (photo search) or between different days or areas of recording (date search).

• You can only use this function from the wireless controller.

1.Slide the POWER switch to VCR.

2.Press the SEARCH SELECT button to choose between photo/date search.

PHOTO SEARCH or DATE SEARCH is shown in the display for four seconds.

3.Press the - and + buttons to move backwards or forwards through the still pictures or between different days of recording.

Press once to move to the start of the previous/next still picture or day on the tape.

You can press more than once to move to the corresponding still picture or day (up to a maximum of ten times), e.g. press the + button five times to move forward five still pictures or days.

PHOTO SEARCH/DATE SEARCH appears in the middle of the display alongside the - or + mark and number to search through. The date also appears during date search.

When the camcorder locates the indicated date or still picture, it enters playback or still playback mode.

Notes:

Press 3 (stop) to stop mid-search.

If you begin a search very close to the start of a recorded still picture during photo search, the camera may skip straight past it.

When you have set the area for the World Clock, date search also looks for the change in date based on the adjusted time.

A date/area cannot be identified if the total recording time on that day/area was less than one minute.

Date search playback may start just before or after the beginning of the located section.

If the data code is not displayed correctly you will not be able to operate the date search correctly.
