more, the LCD monitor switches on and the viewfinder

 

switches off automatically to save power.

 

A cassette holder cannot be opened unless a power

 

supply is attached.

 

There may be a delay after you open the cassette cover

 

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

according to the type of tape used.

camcorder’s power shuts off automatically. Set the

 

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

 

“CAMERA” to turn the camcorder on again.

 

When a blank portion is left between recorded scenes

 

on the tape, the time code is interrupted and errors may

 

occur when editing the tape. Continue recording from

 

where you stop so that there are no gaps by following

 

“Recording from the middle of a tape” (pg. 22).

 

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.
