Recording Details

1.Remove the lens cap.

2.Set the Power switch to A or M (automatic record or manual record mode). (The VIDEO indicator comes on.)

3.Open the LCD monitor or adjust the viewfinder.

4.Press and release the Recording Start/Stop button to start recording. (REC appears in the

viewfinder or LCD monitor (but won’t be recorded.))

5.When finished recording, press and release the Recording Start/Stop button again to stop recording. The camcorder is now in the record- pause mode. (PAUSE appears in the viewfinder or on the LCD monitor.)

Notes:

If the Record-Standby mode continues for 5 minutes without performing Zoom or any other operations, the camcorder’s power shuts off automatically. Set the Power switch to OFF, and then back to A or M to turn the camcorder on again.

If you are recording on a tape from the middle (such as when a tape is removed and reinserted during recording), use the Retake function (see page 39) to find the end of the last recording so you do not erase any of it.

To remove the icons from the

camcorder’s display during recording, see page 78.

Journalistic Shooting

In some situations, different shooting angles may provide more dramatic results. Hold the camcorder in the desired position and tilt the LCD monitor in the most convenient direction. It can rotate 270° (90° downward, 180° upward).
