LOAD A CASSETTE

1 Slide EJECT to open the cassette holder, then insert the cassette with the label facing out. Press PUSH to ensure the holder is closed and locked.

ENTER RECORD–STANDBY MODE

2 Slide the LENS COVER open/close switch to open the lens cover, then set the power switch to “CAMERA”.

•The power indicator lights and the camcorder enters the Record–Standby Mode.

•The scene you’re aimed at appears on the viewfinder screen, with the word “PAUSE” superimposed upon it.

START SHOOTING

3 Press the RECORDING START/STOP button.

•The tally lamp lights while recording is in progress, and “REC ” appears in the viewfinder.

•If you want to turn the tally lamp off, see page 29.

STOP RECORDING

4 Press the RECORDING START/STOP button again to stop recording.

•The camcorder re-enters the Record-Standby mode.

NOTES:

A cassette holder can’t be opened unless a power supply is attached.

There may be a delay after you slide EJECT until the holder opens. Do not use force.

The tape’s remaining time is displayed in the viewfinder as shown.

The indicated remaining time is approximate.

The time required to calculate the remaining tape length, and the accuracy of the calculation, may vary according to the type of tape used.

The tape remaining time displayed in the viewfinder is correct only if the correct tape length has been selected (pg. 10).

When using a 60-minute tape, the tape ramaining time displayed will not be accurate.

“TAPE END” appears when the tape reaches its end, and the power goes off automatically if left in this condition for 5 minutes. “TAPE END” also appears when a cassette whose tape is already at its end is loaded.

If the Record–Standby mode continues for 5 minutes without performing Zoom or any other operations, the camcorder’s power shuts off automatically. Set the Power switch to “POWER OFF”, and then back to “CAMERA” to turn the camcorder on again.

If you’re recording on a cassette from the middle, use the RETAKE function (pg. 16) to find the end of the last recording so you don’t erase any of it.

The LENS COVER warning blinks for about 8 seconds when the camcorder is turned on, when the cover is closed.
