Recording Mode Setting

Set depending on your preference.

1

Set the Power Switch to “AUTO” or “PRO.”. Press SP/

EP for more than 1 second. “SP” (Standard Play)

provides higher picture and sound quality and is better

for dubbing, while “EP” (Extended Play) is more

economical, providing three times the recording time.

NOTE:

If the recording mode is switched during recording, the

playback picture will be blurred at the switching point.
