Immediately after shooting, you can use the recording review function to automatically rewind and play back the last 2 to 10 seconds of the recording to check the recorded contents.

Performing recording review

With recording paused, press the RET button on the lens.

Depending on how long you hold down the button, the tape is automatically rewound over the last 2 to 10 seconds of the recording, and then this last part of the recording is shown in the viewfinder. You can also listen to the recorded sound via an earphone or the speaker. After the recorded part is played back, the camcorder is automatically returns to the pause state.
