Playback Modes

The playback mode is selected automatically according to the recording system (SP/LP
mode) in which the tape was recorded.

Foreign 8 mm video

You cannot play back tapes recorded on a different TV color system. Because the TV
color systems differ from country to country, you may not be able to play back foreign
pre-recorded tapes. Refer to the list of "Using Your Camcorder Abroad" to check the TV
color system of foreign countries.

Tips for Using the Battery Pack

This section shows you how you can get the most out of your battery pack.

Preparing the Battery Pack

Always Carry Additional Batteries

Have sufficient battery pack power to do 2 to 3 times as much recording as you have
planned.

Battery Life is Shorter in Cold Environment

Battery efficiency is decreased and the battery will be used up more quickly if you are
recording in cold environment.

To Save Battery Power

Turn STANDBY down when not recording to save battery power.
A smooth transition between scenes can be made even if recording is stopped and
started again. While positioning the subject, selecting an angle, or looking through the
viewfinder lens, the lens moves automatically and the battery is used. The battery is
also used when a cassette is inserted or removed.

When to Replace the Battery

While you are using your camcorder in CAMERA.mode, the remaining battery
indicator decreases gradually as battery power is used up.
