Press the Recording Start/Stop Button again to stop

 

 

 

recording.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

•The camcorder re-enters the Record-Standby mode.

 

NOTES:

 

The cassette holder cannot be opened unless a power

 

supply is attached.

 

There may be a delay after you slide EJECT until the

 

holder opens. Do not use force.

 

The tape remaining time is only displayed in the

 

viewfinder as shown.

 

The remaining time indicated in the viewfinder is

 

approximate.

 

The time required to calculate the remaining tape

 

length, and the accuracy of the calculation, may vary

 

RECORDING

according to the type of tape used.

The tape remaining time indicator is correct only if the

 

correct tape length has been selected (pg. 12).

 

“TAPE END” appears when the tape reaches its end, and

 

the power goes off automatically if left in this condition

 

for 5 minutes. “TAPE END” also appears when a cassette

 

whose tape is already at its end is loaded.

 

If the Record–Standby mode continues for 5 minutes

 

without performing Zoom or any other operations, the

 

camcorder’s power shuts off automatically. Set the

 

Power Switch to “POWER OFF”, and then back to

 

“CAMERA” to turn the camcorder on again.

 

If the Recording Start/Stop button is pressed after the

 

Record-Standby mode has continued for over

 

5 minutes, recording may not start immediately.

 

If you are recording on a cassette from the middle (such

 

as when a tape is removed and re-inserted during

 

recording), use the Retake function (pg. 19) to find

 

the end of the last recording so you don’t erase any of it.

 

The LENS COVER warning blinks for about 5 seconds

 

when the camcorder is turned on with the cover closed.

 

While shooting, sound is not heard from the speaker.

 

To turn the tally lamp off during recording, refer to pgs.

 

28 and 30.
