Camera recording

Before you record one-time events, you may want to make a trial recording to make sure that the camcorder is working correctly.

(1) Make sure that the power source is installed. (p. 8, 10)

(2) While pressing the small button on the POWER switch, slide it in the direction of the arrow. The small button lights up green.

(3) Press START/STOP. The camcorder records for about 5 seconds and stops. The tape counter disappears and five dots appear. The dots disappear at a rate of one per second. The red lamps light up.

To extend the recording time in 5SEC mode, press START/STOP again before all the dots disappear. Recording continues for about 5 seconds from the moment you press START/STOP.

Note

To save battery power and prevent the battery and tape from wearing down, the power turns off automatically if you do not operate the camcorder for 5 minutes while the video cartridge is inserted and the power is on. To start recording, turn the power on again and press START/STOP.
