Notes on the tape counter

The tape counter indicates the recording or playback time. Use it as a guide. There will be a time lag of several seconds from the actual time. To set the counter to zero, press

COUNTER RESET.

If the tape is recorded in SP and LP modes mixed, the tape counter shows incorrect recording time. When you intend to edit the tape using the tape counter as a guide, record in same (SP or LP) mode.

Note on beep sound

As indicated with ³ in the illustrations, a beep sounds when you turn the power on or when you start recording and two beeps sound when you stop recording, confirming the operation. Several beeps also sound as a warning of any unusual condition of the camcorder. Note that the beep sound is not recorded on the tape. If you do not want to hear the beep sound, change the BEEP setting to OFF.

Note on the AUTO DATE feature

The clock is set to East Coast Standard Time at the factory. You can reset the clock.

The AUTO DATE feature shows the date automatically once a day. However, the date may automatically appear more than once a day when:

you reset the date and time.

you eject and insert the tape again.

you stop recording within 10 seconds.

Using the zoom feature

Zooming is a recording technique that lets you change the size of the subject in the scene. For more professional-looking recordings, use the zoom sparingly.

“T” side:

for telephoto (subject appears closer)

“W” side:

for wide-angle (subject appears farther away)
