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

 

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.

holder opens. Do not use force.

RECORDING

● 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

Power Switch to “POWER OFF”, and then back to

 

“CAMERA” to turn the camcorder on again.

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 don’t erase any of it.
