with the arrow up/arrow down keys, and once you have pressed the Ok key, the recorder software shall ask you: `Start recording?´

Make sure to select `Yes´ and press the Ok key to begin recording the video to the hard-drive. (Pressing the Exit key or selecting `No´ would return you to the Record Menu.)

If you have accidentally selected an already used storage bank, the system will warn you about it.

To end the recording, press the `Stop´ key so that the note `Stop recording?´ appears. The recording is only stopped once you have actually confirmed this question by pressing the `Ok´ key or by again pressing the `Stop´ key.

Note: The two messages `Start recording?´ and ´Stop recording?´ have another meaning than just security – namely to determine the exact start and end of the recording.

Alternatively, the recording can also be stopped by pressing the Play key. After answering

the screen message, the recorded footage is immediately played back.

Note: Please note that due to technical reasons, there is a significant delay between the recording (processing) the video stream and the actual playback of the footage on the screen. When starting or ending a recording, you should pay attention NOT to the monitor screen of the HDV-recorder but to the control picture of the camera.

During playback, you can pause the video by pressing the Pause key. You can also slow it down by pressing the Slow key. Use FastForward to fast forward the video and FastRewind to quickly rewind the video.

Pressing the Pause, Slow, FastForward or FastRewind key again or pressing the Play key again continues to play the video at regular speed.
