Digital effects can be selected but not operated on a blank blue screen (appears in TAPE PLAY (VCR) mode). The display continues to flash.

Digital effects operated during TAPE PLAY (VCR) mode are not recorded onto the original tape.

Digital effects can be added to another tape when dubbing using the AV out terminal (TAPE PLAY (VCR) mode), but not the DV out terminal.

You cannot operate digital effects while photo/date searching.

If you slide the program selector to [ (Easy Recording) while the digital effect display is flashing, it will disappear from the display and reappear when you return to Q (program AE) mode.

The digital effect display will flash for 2 seconds after setting, even if DISPLAYS is set to OFF in the menu.
