CARD TAPE

Mastering the Basics

You can use the LCD screen for instant, on-the-spot playback. The camcorder also plays back the sound track via the built-in speaker ( 35).

•When you play back a tape, you can also close the LCD panel with its screen side facing outward.

•When you wish to use the viewfinder to view playback, close the LCD panel. The built-in speaker does not sound. Use headphones to monitor the sound.

For playing back your recordings on a TV, see p. 36.

For using the wireless controller, see p. 50.

Note:

•To avoid accidental recording, slide the tab on the cassette so that it exposes the hole (the switch position is usually labelled SAVE or ERASE OFF).

1.Attach a power source and turn the POWER switch to PLAY (VCR).

•The power indicator lights up.

2.Make sure the TAPE/CARD switch is set to TAPE.

3.Load the cassette.

4.Press the e (play) button to start playback.

•To end playback, press the 3 (stop) button.

•To wind the tape forwards, stop playback and press the 1 (fast forward) button.

•To wind the tape backwards, stop playback and press the ` (rewind) button.

•If the playback picture is rough (mosaic-like noise), clean the video heads using a Canon DVM-CL Digital Video Head Cleaning Cassette or a commercially available digital video head cleaning cassette.
