To check the recording

●To check recording in the Timelapse mode, the recording duration must be equivalent to at least 8 seconds at 2H(SP) or 6H(EP) speed. Recording check cannot be performed correctly if the recording duration is too short. (Example : In the 960-hour normal timelapse mode, the recording duration shoud be 64 minutes or more.)

●During recording check, the audio signal is not output.

5Press the [REC REVIEW] button during recording.

→The tape is automatically played back in reverse for about 5 seconds, then the Play mode is engaged to allow you to check recording. After the sequence has played back, the recording mode is automatically re-engaged at the point where the recording was interrupted.

•During playback in the Recording Check mode, check the picture to ensure that the recording is satisfactory. If the signals are not recorded properly, the built-in head cleaner cleans the heads and recording continues. In this case, the error code “E-09” is shown on the display for about 10 seconds.
