STOP RECORDING

4

Press the Recording Start/Stop button again to stop

recording.

•The camcorder re-enters the Record-Standby

mode.

NOTES:

●

When the power switch is set to CAMERA and the LCD

monitor is opened at an angle of 45 degrees or more, the

LCD monitor switches on and the viewfinder switches

off automatically to save power.

●

A cassette holder can’t be opened unless a power supply

is attached.

●

There may be a delay after you press EJECT until the

holder opens. Do not use force.

●

The tape’s remaining time is displayed in the LCD

monitor or the viewfinder as shown.

●

The indicated remaining time is approximate.

●

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 (

Z

pg. 10).

●

“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.

●

While shooting, pressing DISPLAY lets you remove

some indications from the screen (

Z

pg. 49).

●

If the Record–Standby mode continues for 5 minutes

without performing Zoom or any other operations, the

camcorder’s power shuts off automatically. Set the

Power switch to “POWER OFF”, and then back to

“CAMERA” to turn the camcorder on again.

●

If the Recording Start/Stop button is pressed after the

Record-Standby mode has continued for over 5

minutes, recording may not start immediately.

●

If you’re recording on a cassette from the middle, use

the RETAKE function (

Z

pg. 18) to find the end of the

last recording so you don’t erase any of it.

●

The LENS COVER warning blinks for about 10 seconds

when the camcorder is turned on when the cover is

closed.

●

While shooting, sound is not heard from the speaker.
