Counters and Time-Remaining Display

Repeatedly press COUNTER DISPLAY to display the tape counter, tape counter with
memory stop, elapsed time counter, or time-remaining display in the viewfinder.
These displays are not recorded on the tape.
Tape Counter
The tape counter helps you locate a place on the tape. Record the tape counter
reading at the beginning and end of each recording session for future reference.
Press COUNTER RESET whenever the tape counter is displayed to reset the
counter to “0000”.
Tape Counter with Memory Stop
The tape counter’s memory-stop feature helps locate a certain point on the tape. This
is useful if you want to review a section immediately after recording or repeatedly play
back a segment of the tape. When memory stop is turned on, the tape will stop
automatically during fast-forward or rewind when the time counter reaches “M0000”.
