Recording a picture

Note

Fasten the grip strap firmly. Do not touch the built-in microphone during recording.

To enable smooth transition

You can make the transition between the last scene you recorded and the next scene smooth as long as you do not eject the cassette even if you turn off your camcorder. When you change the battery pack, set the POWER switch to OFF (CHARGE).

If you leave your camcorder in the standby mode for 5 minutes while the cassette is inserted

Your camcorder automatically turns off. This is to save battery power and to prevent battery and tape wear. To resume the standby mode, set the POWER switch to OFF (CHARGE) once, then turn it to CAMERA again.

To set the counter to 0:00:00

Press COUNTER RESET (p. 76).

After recording

(1) Set the POWER switch to OFF (CHARGE).

(2) Close the LCD panel.

(3) Eject the cassette.

After using your camcorder

Remove the battery pack from your camcorder to avoid turning on the built-in light accidentally.
