·VTR START button

When this pressed, recording commences; when it is pressed again, recording stops. This button has the same function as the VTR button on the lens side.

¸VTR SAVE/STBY (tape protection) switch

This selects the power supply status while the VTR recording is temporarily stopped (REC PAUSE).

SAVE: This is the tape protection mode. The cylinder is stopped in the half-loading status.
