If the cassette has been ejected
Every time you eject the cassette, ORC is canceled. Set ORC again.
To check if you have performed ORC
If the ORC indicator lights up in the display window, the tape condition has been checked.
Notes on the ORC function
•When you set ORC TO SET, the recording on the tape is erased for about 0.1 second so that the camcorder can check the tape condition. Be careful when you use a recorded tape. The 0.1 second blank is erased if you record from the point where you set ORC TO SET for more than 2 seconds, or if you record over the blank.
•You cannot use this function on a tape with the red mark on the cassette exposed. •While the ORC function is turned on, you cannot operate the power zoom lever.
