Tape protection mode

When the camera recorder remains in the playback pause or recording pause mode for more than 5 minutes, it is automatically set to the stop mode in order to protect the tape. However, if it remains in the playback pause mode when the temperature is low, the stop mode may be established sooner.

Tape blank search

By pressing the EVF DTL/END SEARCH button in the VCR mode, it is possible to search for unrecorded parts on the tape or the part which was shot last. For details, refer to the section on the EVF DTL/END SEARCH button (page 10).

Variable speed search

This function changes the playback speed to locate scenes.

OWhen the OPERATION lever is tilted in the 1 direction during tape playback, the variable search mode is established, “1a” appears in the viewfinder and on the LCD monitor, and the tape is played back at the 1a speed. No sound is played back at this time.

OThe playback speed changes when the AUDIO MON/VAR button is pressed. Each time the button is pressed, the playback speed changes by one setting in the following sequence: 1/5a (or 1/3a in the LP mode), 1a, 2a, 5a, 10a and 20a.

OThe speed is varied in the forward direction using the “+” button; conversely it is varied in the reverse direction using the “–” button.

OWhen the remote control is used, pressing the VAR.SEARCH button establishes the variable speed search mode, and the playback direction and playback speed are changed using the “V” and “B” buttons among the SET buttons.

OTo return to normal playback, tilt the OPERATION lever in the 1 direction.

Index search

This function is used to search the index signals recorded on the tape. An index search can be performed using the accessory wireless remote control unit.

ODuring tape playback, press the INDEX button (9 or :) on the wireless remote control unit.

“S1” appears in the viewfinder and on the LCD monitor, and the search for the next scene is started.

OTo stop the search at any time, press the STOP ($) button.

OEach time the INDEX button is pressed after the search operation has commenced, “S2” “S3” are displayed, and the second or any subsequent scene can be searched. When a scene is located, playback commences from that part of the tape. (Any scene up to the ninth in the reverse or forward direction from the present position of the tape can be specified.)

The index search function may not operate smoothly if any of the intervals between one index and the next are less than one minute.
