Hints for Recording
If the tape reaches near the end during recording
The Eflp indicator and the red lamp in the viewfinder and the camera recording,/battery
lamp on the camcorder blink slowly. When the tape reaches its end, blinking becomes
rapid and beeps sound for about five seconds (if BEEP is set to ON.)
Notes on recording
• To record from the beginning of fhe tape, run the beginning of the tape for about 15
seconds before recording. This will avoid missing the starting point when the tape is
played back.
• When moving from indoors to outdoors, or vice versa, turn STANDBY up and point the
camcorder at a white object for about 10 seconds so that the white balance is properly
adjusted.
Note on standby mode
If you leave the camcorder in the standby mode for 5 minutes or more, the camcorder will
be automatically turned off. To resume the standby mode, turn STANDBY down and turn it
up again. To start recording, press START/STOP directly.
Note on light sources
If you are shooting a subject in bright conditions just after shooting in a dark place, the
picture may not appear in the viewfinder. In this case, point the camcorder to the other
direction.
