Press and quickly release REW when the camcorder is in record pause to review the last few seconds of a recording. The VCR(PLAY)/CAM button must be in the CAM position.

The camcorder will play back the last few seconds of the recording, return the tape to its previous position, and return to record pause.

Camera Edit Feature

The camera edit feature allows you to position the tape when the camcorder is in record pause. The VCR(PLAY)/CAM button must be in the CAM position.

Press and hold REW to visually search the recorded tape in reverse.

Press and hold F FWD to visually search forward on the recorded tape.

Release the button to return the camcorder to record pause at that point on the tape. Press the thumb trigger (REC on remote) to start recording at this point.

With the press of a button, the camcorder advances through the tape looking for a blank section. This feature saves time and tape by locating the end of the last recorded segment.

2.Press the BLANK button.

The camcorder fast forwards or rewinds the tape to the end of the recorded portion, stops, and enters record pause. BLANK appears in the viewfinder during blank search.

Notes: Before starting to record, make sure the camcorder has stopped on the blank section of tape where you want to begin recording. If there are blank portions of tape between scenes, the blank search feature may stop on blank sections of tape as short as 60 seconds.

Blank search can also be used in the

VCR(PLAY) mode. When the camcorder is being used to play back a tape, just place the camcorder in the stop mode and press

BLANK.
