( pg. 14, 15)

monitor is opened at an angle of 60 degrees or more, the LCD

 

monitor switches on and the viewfinder switches off automatically

 

to save power (models equipped with LCD monitor only).

The cassette holder cannot be opened unless a power supply is attached.

There may be a delay after you slide EJECT until the cassette holder opens. Do not use force.

The time required to calculate the remaining tape length, and the accuracy of the calculation, may vary according to the type of tape used.

The tape remaining time indicator is correct only if the correct tape length has been selected ( pg. 12).

“TAPE END” appears when the tape reaches its end, and the power goes off automatically if left in this condition for 5 minutes.

“TAPE END” also appears when a cassette whose tape is already at its end is loaded.

If the Recording Start/Stop button is pressed after the Record- Standby mode has continued for over 5 minutes, recording may not start immediately.

While shooting, sound is not heard from the speaker (models equipped with LCD monitor only).

resumes after still playback or shuttle search.

 

If the playback picture is distorted when TBC is set to on, turn off

 

TBC.
