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. To avoid this, refer to “Recording From The Middle Of A Tape” ( pg. 17).

Coloured bright spots may appear all over the LCD monitor or the viewfinder. However, this is not a malfunction.
