NOTES:

●When the Power Switch is set to CAMERA and the LCD monitor is opened at an angle of 60 degrees or more, the LCD monitor switches on and the viewfinder switches off automatically to save power.

●The cassette holder cannot be opened unless a power supply is attached.

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

●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 indicator is correct only if the correct tape length has been selected (☞ pg. 12).

●“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 “OFF”, and then back to “CAMERA” to turn the camcorder on again.

●If the Recording Start/Stop button is pressed after the Record-Standby mode has continued for over 5 minutes, recording may not start immediately.

●If you are recording on a cassette from the middle (such as when a tape is removed and re-inserted during recording), use the Retake function (☞ pg. 21) to find the end of the last recording so you do not erase any of it.

●While shooting, sound is not heard from the speaker.

JOURNALISTIC SHOOTING

In some situations, different shooting angles may provide more dramatic results. Hold the camcorder in the desired position and tilt the LCD monitor in the most convenient direction. It can rotate 270° (90° downward, 180° upward).

INTERFACE SHOOTING

The person you shoot can view himself/herself in the LCD monitor, and you can even shoot yourself while viewing your own image in the LCD monitor.

Open the LCD monitor and tilt it upward to 180 degrees so that it faces forward. When the LCD monitor is tilted upward to an angle of over approx. 105 degrees, the monitor image is inverted vertically, and the viewfinder also switches on. Point the lens toward the subject (yourself when self- recording) and start recording.

During Interface Shooting, the monitor image and indications do not appear inverted as they would when viewing a mirror.

NOTE:

The monitored image can be viewed on the LCD monitor and in the viewfinder.

LCD MONITOR/VIEWFINDER INDICATIONS

Press DISPLAY for more than 1 second to make the following indications appear/disappear from the camcorder’s display: cassette warning, tape remaining time, battery pack remaining power indicator and tape length indicator (☞ pg. 50, 51).

NOTE:

Self-RecordingEven if the indications are off, the tape remaining time appears blinking when the tape is near its end, and the

battery pack remaining power indicator appears blinking when the power is almost gone.
