When [PROGRESSIVE] on the [CAMERA SETUP] Sub-Menu is set to [ON], the digital modes of [EFFECT1] on the [DIGITAL EFFECT] Sub-Menu cannot be used. (l42)

ªWipe Mode and Mix Mode

If either one of the following operations is carried out, stored images will be erased, and Wipe and Mix Functions cannot be used.

Use the Camera Search Function Press the [STILL] Button

ªPlaying Back

Repeat Playback

If you continue to press the [1] Button for 5 seconds or longer, the Movie Camera switches to Repeat Playback Mode, and the [R !] Indication appears. (To cancel Repeat Playback Mode, set the [OFF/ON/MODE] Switch to [OFF].)

Listening to Playback Sound through

Headphones

If you want to use headphones to listen to the playback sound, set [AV JACK] on the [AV IN/OUT SETUP] Sub- Menu to [OUT/PHONES] and connect headphones to the [PHONES] Socket (l7) on the Movie Camera. In this case, no sound (including a warning sound and shutter sound) will not be reproduced through the built-in speaker of the Movie Camera.

Choosing Sound during Playback

You can select the sound by using the [AUDIO OUT] setting on the [PLAYBACK FUNCTIONS] Sub-Menu.

STEREO:

Stereo Sound (main sound and sub sound)

L:Left channel sound (main sound)

R:Right channel sound (sub sound)

If an attempt was made to perform audio dubbing for what was recorded with [12bit] selected as the [AUDIO REC] setting, the sound played back will be set to stereo regardless of the [AUDIO OUT] setting if [12bit AUDIO] is set to [MIX].

ªIndex Search Functions

Index Search may not be possible at the beginning of tape. Because Photoshot Index Signals are not recorded on still

pictures recorded in Continuous Photoshot Mode, the Photoshot Index Search Function cannot be used for these still pictures.

Scene Index Search may not function properly if the interval between 2 scene index signals is shorter than 1 minute.

ªPlayback Digital Effect Functions

Signals of images to which digital effects are added during playback cannot be output from the DV Terminal (l6) or Digital Still Picture Terminal (l33).

You cannot use the Wipe or Mix Function while playing back the non-recorded portion of tape.

ªPlayback Zoom Function

You cannot adjust the sound volume with the Remote Controller in Playback Zoom Mode.

If you turn off the Movie Camera power or if you switch

from VCR Mode to Camera Mode, Playback Zoom Mode is automatically cancelled.

Even if Playback Zoom Functions are being used, images that are output from the DV Terminal (l6) or Digital Still Picture Terminal (l33) are not enlarged.

As you enlarge an image, the quality of image suffers. During a Playback Zoom, the Variable Speed Search

Function cannot be changed with the Remote Controller.

ªPlaying Back on Your TV

If you set [AV JACK] on the [AV IN/OUT SETUP] Sub-Menu to [IN/OUT], nothing will be shown on the TV screen except during playback.

ªAudio Dubbing

The blank section of a tape cannot be dubbed.

Sounds sent through the DV Terminal cannot be dubbed.

If a tape has a non-recorded portion when the tape is dubbed, images and sounds may be disturbed when this portion of the tape is played back.

If you set the tape counter back to 0 at the position where you want to stop Audio Dubbing so as to make it possible to use the Memory Stop Function (l50), Audio Dubbing is terminated automatically when the tape reaches this position.

In the case of importing data recorded with Audio Dubbing to a PC using the PC’s software programme, only the original sound (ST1) may be imported, depending on the software programme.

ªRecording the Contents of Other

Equipment

Recording to a Card

If you set the [TAPE/CARD] Selector to [CARD], you can use the Card Photoshot function for external input signals. Black streaks may appear at the 4 edges of the image. When the [PHOTO SHOT] Button is pressed, the image

may seem to move backward momentarily, but this does not affect the recording.

While recording with analog input, a Card Photoshot cannot be used.

Analog-Digital Conversion

When the Movie Camera is connected with other digital video equipment through its DV Terminal, images recorded in analog form from other external equipment can be output to the digital video equipment through the DV Terminal.

To DV-output analog video signals sent from other equipment, set [DV OUT] on the [AV IN/OUT SETUP] Sub-Menu to [ON]. (Normally, keep the [DV OUT] set to [OFF]. If it is set to [ON], the quality of the image may be disturbed.)

ªUsing the DV Cable for Recording

(Digital Dubbing)

Regardless of the setting, digital dubbing is carried out automatically in the same audio recording mode as that of the Cassette on the playback-side.

The images on the monitor of the recording side may be disturbed, but it does not affect the recorded images.

Even if Playback Digital Effects, Playback Zoom, or Playback Title In have been used, these effects are not output from the DV Terminal.

Even if you use device equipped with DV Terminals (such as i.LINK), you may not be able to perform Digital Dubbing in some cases.

ªAutoprint

When the cooling function of a video printer has been working and the printing speed is dropping, Autoprint may stop. When this happens, set [AUTO PRINT] to [YES] once more.

If you replace the Ink Cassette or paper during printing, the

same picture may be printed twice.

When the Movie Camera is not connected to the video printer properly, when the Ink Cassette is not inserted or is empty, or when the printer is out of paper, the [PRINTER ERROR] Indication appears.

Some Photoshot images may be skipped during Autoprint.
