Tape Length/Recording Mode Setting

SET TAPE LENGTH

1 Set the tape length button according to the length of the tape used. T20 = 20 minutes of recording time, T30 = 30 minutes, and T40 = 40 minutes (in SP).

SET RECORDING MODE

2 Set depending on your preference. “SP” (Standard Play) provides higher picture and sound quality and is better for dubbing, while “EP” (Extended Play) is more economical, recording at 1/3 the speed of SP.

NOTES:

●The tape remaining time indicator is correct only if the correct tape length has been selected (☞ pg. 15).

●If the recording mode is switched during recording, the playback picture will be blurred at the switching point.

●When the power switch is set to CAMERA and the LCD monitor is opened at an angle of 60 degrees or more, the LCD monitor switches on and the viewfinder switches off automatically to save power.
