PHOTO:

When the INDEX button is pressed, the tape is cued back or forward to the image containing the photo index signal.

When the tape is cued, it is played back for about 4 seconds, and then the image is played back as a still picture. (If you continue still-picture playback for 5 or more minutes, the camera-recorder is set to the stop mode in order to safeguard the heads from wear.)

SCENE:

When the INDEX button is pressed once, “S1” is displayed, and the tape is cued back or forward to the image containing the photo index signal.

Each time this button is pressed again after operation has started, “S2” and then “S3” are displayed, and the tape is cued up to the second and subsequent scenes. When the tape is cued up, playback starts from that section. (Up to the ninth scene before or ahead on the tape can be specified for cue-up.)

The function may not work properly if the interval between one index and the next is less than one minute.

2 Press one of the INDEX buttons (9 or :) on the remote control unit.
