Quick Review Feature
Press and quickly release REW when the
camcorder is in record pause to review
the last few seconds of a recording. The
VCR(PLAY)/CAM button must be in the
CAM position.
The camcorder will play back the last
few seconds of the recording, return the
tape to its previous position, and return to
record pause.
Camera Edit Feature
The camera edit feature allows you to
position the tape when the camcorder is
in record pause. The VCR(PLAY)/CAM
button must be in the CAM position.
• Press and hold REW to visually search
the recorded tape in reverse.
• Press and hold F FWD to visually
search forward on the recorded tape.
Release the button to return the
camcorder to record pause at that point
on the tape. Press the thumb trigger
(REC on remote) to start recording at this
point.
Blank Search
With the press of a button, the camcorder
advances through the tape looking for a
blank section. This feature saves time
and tape by locating the end of the last
recorded segment.
1. Place the camcorder in record pause.
2. Press the BLANK button.
The camcorder fast forwards or
rewinds the tape to the end of the
recorded portion, stops, and enters
record pause. BLANK appears in the
viewfinder during blank search.
Notes: Before starting to record, make
sure the camcorder has stopped on the
blank section of tape where you want to
begin recording. If there are blank
portions of tape between scenes, the blank
search feature may stop on blank sections
of tape as short as 60 seconds.
Blank search can also be used in the
VCR(PLAY) mode. When the camcorder is
being used to play back a tape, just place
the camcorder in the stop mode and press
BLANK.
