7-4 Alarm Search/Date and Time Search

There are three different ways you can search a tape position.

When the [SEARCH] button is pressed, the Search mode is engaged. Each time the [SEARCH] button is pressed, the Search mode changes.

(Once) alarm search: To search the start of an alarm recording.

(Twice) alarm scan: To play back around the start of each alarm recording for several seconds.

(Three times) date/time search: To search for a recording made at a specified date and time. Press the [SEARCH] button four times to cancel the Search mode.

Note on date/time search

Recording duration is especially important with timelapse recordings. If the duration is too short, date/time search will not function correctly. The recording duration must be equivalent to at least 5 seconds at Standard (2H) or EP (6H) speed.

(Example) In the 960-hour normal timelapse mode, the recording time should be 40 minutes or more.
