Searching the boundaries of recorded date

Notes on Date Search and Date Scan mode

•If a day’s recording is not longer than 2 minutes, the camcorder may not accurately find its boundaries.

•Date Search and Date Scan do not function on a tape recorded by a camcorder without the Data Code function. Your camcorder has the Data Code function.

•When searching the boundaries of date on the tape, the forwarded or reversed picture appears in the viewfinder. Visual noise also appears during this searching. This is not a mulfunction.

Notes on the tape counter

•Something must be recorded on the tape in order for the tape counter to function. Tape counter does not work on a blank tape.

•There may be a discrepancy of several seconds from the actual time.

Notes on ZERO MEM

•When you press ZERO MEM, the counter’s zero point is memorized. Press ZERO MEM again before rewinding to cancel the memory.

•This function is cancelled automatically once the tape is rewound or advanced to the point you pre-registered.

• ZERO MEM does not function during recording or playing back. 61
