Slow-Motion Playback

To perform Slow-motion playback, the remote
control is necessary.
To change from normal to slow-motion playback,
press the Pause button at the point where you want
to start playback in slow motion, and press the Slow
Rewind or Slow Forward button on the remote
control unit. After playing back in slow motion for
about 10 to 20 seconds, normal playback resumes.
Speed is 1/10 times normal. To stop slow-motion
playback in progress, press the Play button.
During slow-motion playback, due to digital image
processing, the picture may take on a mosaic effect.
After the Slow Rewind or Slow Forward button is
pressed, the still image may be displayed for a few
seconds, then the screen may become blue back for
a few seconds. This is not a malfunction.
There may be a small margin between the slow-
motion playback start point you chose and the start
point at which the camcorder actually begins
playback in slow motion.
NOTES:
The sound is not available during High-Speed Search.
Copy guarded tapes cannot be played back. The
