•You can press more than once to move to the corresponding still picture or day (up to a maximum of 10 times), e.g. press the + button 5 times to move forward 5 still pictures or days.

•PHOTO SEARCH/DATE SEARCH appears in the middle of the display alongside the - or + mark and number to search through. You can change direction easily by pressing the button for the opposite direction.

Notes:

•Press 3 (stop) to stop mid-search.

•If you begin a search very close to the start of a recorded still picture during photo search, the camcorder may skip straight past it.

•When you have set the area for the World Clock, date search also looks for the change in date based on the adjusted time.

•A date/area cannot be identified if the total recording time on that day/area was less than 1 minute.

•Date search playback may start just before or after the beginning of the located section.

•If the data code is not displayed correctly you will not be able to operate the date search correctly.
