●Before recording important video, be sure to make a trial recording.
Play back your trial recording to make sure the video and audio have been recorded properly.
●We recommend cleaning your video heads before use.
If you haven’t used your
camcorder for awhile, the heads may be dirty. We recommend periodically
cleaning the video heads with a cleaning cassette (optional).
● Be sure to store your cassette tapes and camcorder in the proper environment.
Video heads can become dirty more easily if your cassette tapes and camcorder are stored in a dusty area. Cassette tapes should be removed from the camcorder and stored in cassette cases. Store the camcorder in a bag or other container.
●Use SP (Standard) mode for important video recordings.
LP (Long Play) mode lets you record 50% more video than SP (Standard) mode, but you may experience mosaic-like noise during playback depending on the tape characteristics and the usage environment.
So, for important recordings, we recommend using SP mode.

● Do not touch internal components.
2 Insert or remove a tape and press “PUSH” to close the cassette holder.
●Be sure to press only the section labeled “PUSH” to close the cassette holder; touching other parts may cause your finger to get caught in the cassette holder, resulting in injury or product damage.
●Once the cassette holder is closed, it recedes automatically. Wait until it recedes completely before closing the cassette holder cover.
●When the battery pack’s charge is low, you may not be able to close the cassette holder cover. Do not apply force. Replace the battery pack with a fully charged one or use AC power before continuing.
3 Close the cassette holder cover firmly until it locks into place.
To protect valuable recordings
Slide the erase protection tab on the back of the tape in the direction of “SAVE”. This prevents the tape from being recorded over. To record on this tape, slide the tab back to “REC” before loading it.
NOTES:
●If you wait a few seconds and the cassette holder does not open, close the cassette holder cover and try again. If the cassette holder still does not open, turn the camcorder off then on again.

●Do not touch the terminal on the reverse side of the label.
4 Close the card cover.
To protect valuable files (available only for SD Memory Card)
Slide the write/erase protection tab on the side of the memory card in the direction of “LOCK”. This prevents the memory card from being recorded over. To record on this memory card, slide the tab back to the position opposite to “LOCK” before loading it.
NOTES:
●Some brands of memory cards are not compatible with this camcorder. Before purchasing a memory card, consult its manufacturer or dealer.
●Before using a new memory card, it is necessary to format the card. ( pg. 30)
ATTENTION:
Do not insert or remove the memory card while the camcorder is turned on, as this may cause the memory card to be corrupted or cause the camcorder to become unable to recognize whether or not the card is installed.

NOTES:
●Focusing may become unstable during Zooming. In this case, set the zoom while in RecordStandby, lock the focus by using the manual focus ( pg. 37), then zoom in or out in Record mode.
●Zooming is possible to a maximum of 800X, or it can be switched to 32X magnification using the optical zoom. ( pg. 33)
●Zoom magnification of over 32X is done through Digital image processing, and is therefore called Digital Zoom.
●During Digital zoom, the quality of image may suffer.
●Digital zoom cannot be used when the VIDEO/ MEMORY Switch is set to “MEMORY”.
●Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm (2") to the subject) is possible when the Power Zoom Lever is set all the way to “W”. Also see “TELE MACRO” in FUNCTION Menu on page 32.
●When shooting a subject close to the lens, zoom out first. If zoomed-in in the auto focus mode, the camcorder may automatically zoom out depending on the distance between the camcorder and the subject. This will not occur when “TELE MACRO” is set to “ON”. ( pg. 32)

(30 frames = 1 second)

* Frames are not displayed during recording.
If recording starts from a blank portion, the time code begins counting from “00:00:00” (minute:second:frame). If recording starts from the end of a previously recorded scene, the time code continues from the last time code number. If during recording a blank portion is left partway through the tape, the time code is interrupted. When recording is resumed, the time code starts counting up again from “00:00:00”. This means the camcorder may record the same time codes as those existing in a previously recorded scene. To prevent this, perform Recording From The Middle Of A Tape ( pg. 21) in the following cases;
●When shooting again after playing back a recorded tape.
●When power shuts off during shooting.
●When a tape is removed and re-inserted during shooting.
●When shooting using a partially recorded tape.
●When shooting on a blank portion located partway through the tape.
●When shooting again after shooting a scene then opening/closing the cassette holder cover.
NOTES:
●The time code cannot be reset.
●During fast-forwarding and rewinding, the time code indication does not move smoothly.
●The time code is displayed only when “TIME CODE” is set to “ON”. ( pg. 34)
Enables to check the end of the last recording.
1)Press QUICK REVIEW during the RecordingStandby mode.
2)Tape is rewound for about several seconds and played back automatically, then pauses in the Recording-Standby mode for the next shot.
● Distortion may occur at start of playback. This is normal.
1) Play back a tape or use Blank Search
( pg. 22) to find the spot at which you want to start recording, then engage the Still Playback mode. (See the right column.)
2) Set the Power Switch to “REC” while pressing down the Lock Button located on the switch, then start recording.
