- Flying Erase Head

A separate erase head is mounted on the spinning headwheel (hence

the term "flying"). This allows you to make clean edits without

"glitches" or the "rainbow noise" that occurs on VCR's and

camcorders without flying erase heads.

Edit Search

Edit Search means that you can use the F.FWD (fast-forward), REW (rewind), and PLAr buttons to precisely position the tape even while the CAMERA/PLAYBACK

switch is in the CAMERA position.

Since you can do this while the camcorder is in the camera mode, without the tape unloading, it is possible to precisely position the tape for the next scene-eliminating

the "between-scene glitches" that are common on camcorders without this feature.

To permit smooth editing while recording, the F.FWD, REW, and

PLAY buttons can be pressed while the CAMERA/PLA YBACK switch is in

CAMERA mode.

REW PLAY FFWD

•Holding REW lets you quickly reverse scan recorded material.

•Holding F.FWD lets you quickly forward scan recorded material.

•Holding PLAY lets you view recorded material at normal

speed. When you release the PLAY button, the camcorder will

stop playing and prepare to record at that spot.
