MAKE CORRECTIONS

5 Press CANCEL during steps 2 and 3 to erase the most recently registered point.

NOTES:

There must be at least one second between an in-point and its corresponding out-point.

The camcorder prerolls during R.A. Edit, so there must be at least 15 seconds of recording material prior to any in-point.

Blank portions of tape cannot be registered as in-points or out-points.

If it takes more than 5 minutes to search for an in-point, the VCR’s Record-Pause mode is cancelled and editing doesn’t take place.

Pressing R.A.EDIT clears all in- and out-points from memory.

Leave a small margin for error around each in-point to ensure the scene is recorded in its entirety.
