Example of stored characters
Your camcorder automatically records the date for about 5 seconds after recording is initiated in the following situations:
•After changing the date. •After loading a cassette.
•After Auto Date Record mode is selected by pressing SET.
In this mode, the date is replaced after 5 seconds with “Auto Date” but this is not recorded.
NOTES:
●Setting PROGRAM AE to LOCK always engages the Auto Date Record mode, and disables all other modes.
●In the Auto Date Record mode, if the date changes while you’re shooting, the date indication is recorded for about 5 seconds from that point. It is not recorded during any other recordings made on that day.
