Set depending on your preference.
SET RECORDING MODE
1 First set the Power Switch to “CAMERA”. Press SP/EP Button for more than 1 second. “SP” (Standard Play) provides higher picture and sound quality and is better for dubbing, while “EP” (Extended Play) is more economical, providing three times as the recording time.
NOTE:
If the recording mode is switched during recording, the playback picture will be blurred at the switching point.
Tape Length Setting
Set the tape length according to the length of the tape used.
