Searching the Tape (Photo Search/Date Search)
This allows you to move quickly through still images recorded anywhere on a tape
(photo search) or between different days or areas of recording (date search) on a
tape.

1. Press the SEARCH SELECT button to choose between photo/date

search.

• PHOTO SEARCH or DATE SEARCH is shown in the display for 4 seconds.

2. Press the -and +buttons to move backwards or forwards

through the still images or between different days of recording.

• Press once to move to the start of the previous/next still image or day on the
tape.
• You can press more than once to move to the corresponding still image or
day (up to a maximum of 10 times), e.g. press the +button 5 times to
move forward 5 still images 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 image 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.
