≥Do not mix old batteries with new batteries. ≥Do not mix different battery types, i.e. Alkaline

and Manganese.

≥Do not use rechargeable (Ni-Cd) batteries. ≥Do not short-circuit the batteries. ≥When you do not use the Remote Controller

ª Accidental Erasure Prevention

≥Recording on a previously recorded cassette

erases the existing scenes and sound. ≥To protect important recordings against

accidental erasure, use a screwdriver to break

out the tab on the cassette (some cassettes

have sliding-type tabs).

ª Confirming the Remaining Tape Time

During recording and playback, the Remaining Tape Time Indication 3 is automatically displayed, so you always know how much time you have left on the cassette. However, to ensure correct display of the remaining tape time, the tape length of the cassette being used must be set correctly on the Movie Camera.

≥When recording or playback starts, the Tape

Length Indication disappears, and in its place the [R] Indication 3 flashes while the remaining tape time is being calculated. A few seconds later, the Remaining Tape Time Indication appears. ([R] means Remaining.)

≥When the remaining tape time is less than

2 minutes, the [R] Indication and the Remaining Tape Time Indication start to flash.

≥When you use a cassette bearing the [P] mark

4 or other special types of cassettes, the Remaining Tape Time Indication may not be very precise.
