About Recording

When recording pictures on a tape, set the Mode Dial to Tape Recording Mode [ ].

When recording still pictures on a card, set the Mode Dial to Card Recording Mode [ ]. When recording with the [AUTO/MANUAL/AE LOCK] Switch (31) set to [AUTO], the Movie Camera automatically adjusts the focus and white balance. In some cases, they cannot be adjusted automatically and need to be adjusted manually. (-28-, -30-)

AE LOCK

≥Before turning on the power, remove the

Lens Cap. If the Lens Cap is still attached when the power is turned on, Automatic

White Balance Adjustment (-28-) may not function correctly.

≥When the Recording Pause Mode continues for more than 6 minutes, the power is turned off automatically for tape protection and power conservation. (If the AC Adaptor is used, the power is turned off only when the tape is inserted in Tape Recording Mode.) When the tape is inserted in Tape Recording Mode and if the Recording Pause Mode continues for more than 6 minutes, the power is turned off automatically.

To resume recording from this condition, turn off, then turn on the power again.
