Time Counter

The time counter appears in the LCD window and shows the actual time elapsed when recording a program or playing back a segment of a prerecorded tape. It helps you locate the end or beginning of programs. Note the time counter reading.

The time counter can only be reset to 0:00:00 in the following conditions:

When the cassette compartment is opened to eject or insert a cassette.

When power is restored to the camcorder after the battery or AC adapter/charger has been disconnected.
