Quick Overview

You can use the LCD screen or the viewfinder for instant, on-the-spot playback. The camera also plays back the sound track via the built-in speaker (p. 27).

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

When the LCD panel is closed, you can monitor the playback using the viewfinder.

To play back your recordings on a TV, see p. 30.

To use the wireless controller, see p. 36.

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