Shooting 3 Chapter

Notes

•Turn the power on and then insert or eject the cassette.

•When inserting a mini-size cassette, confirm the cassette is under the lock (see the figure on the previous page), and then close the cassette holder. If the cassette is not inserted fully under the lock, a stopper will prevent the cassette holder from closing when you press down on it.

•Internal parts of the camcorder may become bent or otherwise damaged if you attempt to close the cassette holder after inserting a mini-size cassette in the wrong direction (such as with the cassette turned backside front so the reel holes face the cassette holder window or with the cassette turned sideways so that a short side enters first).

•If CL appears in the display window when the cassette is loaded, it means that data has already been recorded into the cassette memory. If you record under this condition whether the ClipLink function is available or not, the existing cassette memory data will be overwritten. To avoid this, insert a new cassette.

3 Make the switch settings shown in the figure below.

•After inserting the cassette, close the cassette holder solidly by pressing on the “PUSH” indication on the holder. Unless the cassette holder is closed solidly, the tape will not be loaded and the tape operation buttons will not function. If you find the tape operation buttons inoperable, press on the “PUSH” indication again to make sure that the cassette holder is solidly closed.

Do not insert cassette sideways.
