Step 3 Inserting a cassette

Note

Internal parts of the camcorder may become bent or otherwise damaged if you attempt to insert 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).

When you use cassettes with cassette memory

Read the instruction about cassette memory to use this function properly (p. 158).

To prevent accidental erasure

Slide the REC/SAVE switch on the cassette to the SAVE position.

If Q flashes even if the cassette has been inserted

Insert the cassette again.
