Set depending on your preference.

SET RECORDING MODE

1 First set the Power Switch to “CAMERA”. Press SP/EP Button for more than 1 second. “SP” (Standard Play) provides higher picture and sound quality and is better for dubbing, while “EP” (Extended Play) is more economical, providing three times as the recording time.

NOTE:

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

Tape Length Setting

Set the tape length according to the length of the tape used.

ACCESS MENU SCREEN

1 First set the Power Switch to “CAMERA”. Turn the Select Dial to any position except AUTO LOCK, then press the MENU Jog Dial.

SELECT FUNCTION

3 Rotate the MENU Jog Dial to move the highlight bar to the correct setting. T20=20 minutes of recording time, T30=30 minutes, and T40=40 minutes (in SP).

•If you decide you want to return the tape length to the previous setting, rotate the MENU Jog Dial to move the highlight bar to “EXIT”.

CLOSE MENU

4 Press the MENU Jog Dial. The Menu Screen reappears and the highlight bar is on “MENU END”. Then press the MENU Jog Dial again to close the Menu Screen.

NOTES:

The tape remaining time (pg. 17) displayed in the viewfinder is correct only if the correct tape length has been selected.
