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.

For safety and reliability.

In some situations, different shooting angles may provide more dramatic results. Hold the camcorder in the desired position and tilt the LCD monitor in the most convenient direction. It can rotate 270° (90° downward, 180° upward).

Time Code

During recording, a time code is recorded on the tape. This code is to confirm the location of the recorded scene on the tape during playback.

Display

10 x

Digital zoom zone

32X (optical) zoom zone

Approximate zoom ratio

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)

Minutes

Seconds

Frames*

(30 frames = 1 second)

12 : 34 : 24

* 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)

Quick Review

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.

Recording From The Middle Of A Tape

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.

ATTENTION:

During Shuttle Search, parts of the picture may not be clearly visible, particularly on the left side of the screen.

Before starting Blank Search, if the current position is at a blank portion, the camcorder searches in the reverse direction. If the current position is at a recorded portion, the camcorder searches in the forward direction.

If the beginning or end of the tape is reached during Blank Search, the camcorder stops automatically.

A blank portion which is shorter than 5 seconds of tape may not be detected.

The detected blank portion may be located between recorded scenes. Before you start recording, make sure there is no recorded scene after the blank portion.
