To focus the viewfinder lens

If you cannot see the indicators in the viewfinder clearly, or after someone else has used the camcorder, focus the viewfinder lens. Move the viewfinder lens adjustment lever so that the indicators in the viewfinder come into sharp focus.

Note on Standby mode

If you leave the camcorder in Standby mode for 5 minutes while the cassette is inserted, the camcorder turns off automatically. This prevents wearing down the battery and wearing out the tape. To resume Standby mode, turn STANDBY down once and then up again. To start recording, press START/STOP.

Note on recording

When you record from the beginning of a tape, run the tape by recording for about 15 seconds before you start the actual recording. This will ensure that you won’t miss any start-up scenes when you play back the tape.

You can record tapes in SP (standard play) mode only.

Note on the tape counter

The tape counter indicates the recording or playback time. Use it as a guide. There will be a time lag of several seconds from the actual time. To set the counter to zero, press

COUNTER RESET.

Note on the beep sound

As indicated with ³ in the illustrations, a beep sounds when you turn the power on or when you start recording, and two beeps sound when you stop recording, confirming the operation. Several beeps also sound as a warning of any unusual condition of the camcorder.

Note that the beep sound is not recorded on the tape. If you do not want to hear the beep sound, select “OFF” in the menu system.

Notes on finder power save

•The recording continues even when the picture in the viewfinder disappears during recording.

•If you set VF PW-SAVE to OFF in the menu system, the picture in the viewfinder

does not disappear even when you turn your face away from the viewfinder.
