Note
For getting remaining battery time indicated correctly, leave the battery pack installed
after use. Wear of the battery pack which is installed with the camcorder is a little. As
an exception, be sure to remove the battery pack from the model having the built-in
light after recording (CCD-TR67/TR87/TR97/TR917/TR940 only).
To focus the viewfinder lens
If you cannot see the indicators in the viewfinder clearly, or after someone else has used
the camcorder, focus the viewfinder lens. Move the viewfinder lens adjustment lever so
that the indicators in the viewfinder come into sharp focus.
Note on the lighting aperture
If direct sunlight enters the lighting aperture, the picture in the viewfinder appears
brighter. When this happens, colors in the viewfinder may change.
Note on Standby mode
If you leave the camcorder in Standby mode for 5 minutes while the cassette is inserted,
the camcorder turns off automatically for saving battery power as well as for preventing
the battery and tape from wearing down. To resume Standby mode, turn STANDBY
down and up again. To start recording, press START/STOP.
Note on recording
When you record from the beginning of a tape, run the tape for about 15 seconds before
starting the actual recording. This will ensure that you won't miss any start-up scenes
when you play back the tape.
