1)Recording a subject whose one end is located closer to the Movie Camera and the other end farther away from it
≥Because Auto Focus makes adjustments at the centre of an image, it may be impossible to focus on a subject that is located in both foreground and background.
2)Recording a subject behind dirty or dusty glass
≥Because the focus is on the dirty glass, the subject behind the glass will not be focused.
3)Recording a subject in dark surroundings
≥Because the light information that comes through the lens decreases considerably, the Movie Camera cannot focus correctly.
4)Recording a subject that is surrounded by objects with glossy surfaces or by highly reflective objects
≥Because the Movie Camera focuses on the objects with glossy surfaces or on highly reflective objects, the recording subject may become blurry.
5)Recording a fast-moving subject
≥Because the focus
6)Recording a subject with little contrast
≥Because the Movie Camera achieves focus based upon the vertical lines of an image, a subject with little contrast, such as a white wall, may become blurry.

Time Code signals are data that indicate time measured in hours, minutes, seconds, and frames (25 frames per second). If this data is included in a recording, an address is assigned to each image on the tape.
≥The Time Code is automatically recorded as a part of the
≥When a new (previously unrecorded) Cassette is inserted, the Time Code automatically starts from zero. If a recorded Cassette is inserted, the Time Code picks up from the point where the last scene was recorded. (In this case, when the Cassette is inserted, the zero display [0h00m00s00f] may appear, but the Time Code starts from the previous value.)
≥The Time Code cannot be reset to zero.
≥Unless the Time Code is continuously recorded from the beginning of a tape, accurate editing may not be possible. To ensure that the Time Code will be recorded with no breaks, we recommend the use of the Blank Search Function
