1 SET RECORDING MODE
First set the System Select Switch to “VIDEO”, then set the Power Switch to “AUTO” or “PRO.”. Press SP/ LP for more than 1 second. “SP” (Standard Play) provides higher picture and sound quality and is better for dubbing, while “LP” (Long Play) is more economical, providing twice the recording time.
NOTE:
If the recording mode is switched during recording, the playback picture will be blurred at the switching point.
