3 RESUME RECORDING
If you start recording a new scene within 5 minutes of the end of the previous recording (without having turned the camcorder’s power off), the previous scene wipes out, revealing the new scene.
NOTES:
●If you turn off the power after having finished recording a scene, the stored point is erased. This disables the Picture Wipe/Dissolve combination. When this happens, the Picture Wipe/Dissolve indicator blinks. Try recording again, but don’t turn the power off when you’re finished. The camcorder stores the end point of the last recorded scene, and you can use Picture Wipe/Dissolve between the last scene and the next one.
●The sound at the end of the last recorded scene is not stored.
