Note on standby mode

If you leave the camcorder for 5 minutes or more with a cassette inserted in Standby mode, the camcorder goes off automatically. This prevents wearing down the battery and wearing out the tape. To resume Standby mode, turn STANDBY down once and turn it up again. To start recording, press START/STOP.

Notes on the recording mode

• This camcorder records and plays back in SP (standard play) mode and in LP (long play) mode.

The playback quality in LP mode, however, will not be as good as that in SP mode.

• When you record a tape in LP mode on this camcorder, we recommend you to play the tape on this camcorder. When you play back the tape on other comcorders or VCRs, noise may occur on a picture or sound.

Noise may occur also when you play on this camcorder the tape recorded in LP mode on other camcorders or VCRs.

Note on recording

When you record from the beginning of the tape, run the tape for about 15 seconds before actual recording. This prevents the camcorder from missing any start-up scenes when you play back the tape.

To focus the viewfinder lens

Note on the AUTO DATE feature

The clock is set to East Coast Standard Time at the factory. You can reset the clock in the menu system.

The AUTO DATE feature shows the date automatically once a day. However, the date may automatically appear more than once a day when:

– you reset the date and time. – you eject and insert the cassette again. – you stop recording within 10 seconds.

Using the zoom feature

Zooming is a recording technique that lets you change the size of the subject in the scene. For more professional-looking recordings, use the zoom sparingly.

T side: for telephoto (subject appears closer) W side: for wide-angle (subject appears farther away)

Basic operations

Zooming speed (Variable speed zooming)

Turn the power zoom lever fully for a high-speed zoom. Turn it lightly for a relatively slow zoom.

When you shoot a subject using a telephoto zoom

If you cannot get a sharp focus while in extreme telephoto zoom, move the power zoom lever to the “W” side until the focus is sharp.

You can shoot a subject that is at least 2.6 feet (about 80 cm) away from the lens surface in the telephoto position, or 1/2 inches (about 1 cm) in the wide-angle position.

Notes on digital zoom

• More than 15x zoom is performed digitally, and the picture quality deteriorates as you go toward the “ T ” side. If you do not want to use the digital zoom, set D ZOOM to OFF in the menu system.

• The right side [a] of the power zoom indicator shows the digital zooming zone, and the left side [b] shows the optical zooming zone. If you set D ZOOM to OFF, the right [a] zone disappears.
