Displaying the Data Code
Once date and time are set, the camcorder maintains a data code containing
recording date and time and other camera data such as shutter speed and exposure
(f-stop). Only date and time appear when playing back a memory card.
❍The data code display turns off when you turn the camcorder off.
❍The data code may not be displayed if a recording made with this camcorder is
played back on a different digital camcorder.
❍The data code cannot be displayed in frame advance/reverse playback. Camera
data may not appear in some special playback modes.
❍When the TV screen displays are hidden ( 140), the displays still appear on
the LCD screen. If you turn on the data code, displays other than the data
code will disappear from the LCD screen.
Available Data Code Combinations (in PLAY (VCR) mode):
