Note on recording
Your camcorder records and plays back in the SP (standard play) mode and in the LP
(long play) mode. Select SP or LP in
in the menu settings (p. 179). In the LP mode,
you can record 1.5 times as long as in the SP mode.
When you record a tape in the LP mode on your camcorder, we recommend playing
back the tape on your camcorder.
To enable smooth transition
Transition between the last scene you recorded and the next scene is smooth as long as
you do not eject the cassette even if you turn off your camcorder.
However, check the following:
– Do not mix recordings in the SP mode and in the LP mode on one tape.
– When you change the battery pack, set the POWER switch to OFF (CHG).
Notes
• The recording data (date/time or various settings when recorded) is not displayed
during recording. However, it is recorded automatically on the tape. To display the
recording data, press DATA CODE during playback. You can also use the Remote
Commander for this operation (p. 40).
• Be careful not to touch the microphone.
If you leave your camcorder in standby for five minutes while the cassette is
inserted
Your camcorder automatically turns off. This is to save battery power and to prevent
the battery pack and tape from wearing. To return to standby, set the POWER switch to
OFF (CHG) and then back to CAMERA. However, your camcorder does not turn off
automatically while the cassette is not inserted.
When you record in the SP mode and in the LP mode on one tape or you record in
the LP mode
• The transition between scenes may not be smooth.
• The playback picture may be distorted or the time code may not be written properly
between scenes.
Note on the LOCK switch
When you set the LOCK switch to the right, the POWER switch can no longer be set to
MEMORY accidentally. The LOCK switch is set to the left as the default setting.
