Camera recording

Note on standby mode

If you leave the camcorder for 5 minutes or more with a cassette inserted in Standby mode, the camcorder goes off automatically. This prevents wearing down the battery and wearing out the tape. To resume Standby mode, turn STANDBY down once and turn it up again. To start recording, press START/STOP.

Notes on the recording mode

•This camcorder records and plays back in SP (standard play) mode and in LP (long play) mode.

The playback quality in LP mode, however, will not be as good as that in SP mode.

•When a tape recorded on this camcorder in LP mode is played back on other types of 8 mm camcorders or VCRs, the playback quality may not be as good as that on this camcorder.

To focus the viewfinder lens

If the viewfinder is not in focus at all or when you use the camcorder after someone else has used it, focus the viewfinder lens. Turn the viewfinder lens adjustment ring so that the indicators in the viewfinder come into sharp focus.

Recording with the START/STOP button depressed

You can also make recording while pressing down the START/STOP button. To make the START/STOP button work this way, slide START/STOP MODE to . [a]

Shooting scenery in several short takes

You can automatically make a recording for about 5 seconds with the 5 SEC mode (p. 25). To make the START/STOP button work this way, slide START/STOP MODE to 5 SEC. [b]

Note on recording

When you record from the beginning of the tape, run the tape for about 15 seconds before actual recording. This prevents the camcorder from missing any start-up scenes when you play back the tape.
