Counters and Time-Remaining Display
31
Elapsed-Time Counter
The time counter shows actual time
elapsed while recording. The
CAMERA/VCR switch must be in
CAMERA for the time counter to operate.
Before you start to record a tape,
repeatedly press COUNTER DISPLAY to
display the time counter in the
viewfinder. Then press the COUNTER
RESET button to set the counter
to “0:00:00”.
Time-Remaining Display
The time-remaining display shows the
amount of recording (or playback) time
left on a cassette inserted in the
camcorder.
When the time-remaining display appears
in the viewfinder, the camcorder will
automatically calculate and display the
time remaining for any tape (other than
T-140, T-160, or T-180).
Repeatedly press COUNTER DISPLAY
to display the time-remaining display in
the viewfinder.
Note: The display will remain blank while
the camcorder takes a minute or two to
calculate the time remaining on the tape.
After it has been calculated and displayed, it
will automatically be updated and readily
available as long as the cassette remains in the
camcorder.
