NOTES:
● A cassette holder can’t be opened unless a power supply is attached.
● There may be a delay after you slide EJECT until the holder opens. Do not use force.
● The tape’s remaining time is displayed in the viewfinder as shown.
● The indicated remaining time is approximate.
● The time required to calculate the remaining tape length, and the accuracy of the calculation, may vary
according to the type of tape used.
● The tape remaining time displayed in the viewfinder is correct only if the correct tape length has been
selected (
੬
pg. 8).
● “TAPE END” appears when the tape reaches its end, and the power goes off automatically if left in this
condition for 5 minutes. “TAPE END” also appears when a cassette whose tape is already at its end is loaded.
● If the Record–Standby mode continues for 5 minutes without performing Zoom or any other operations,
the camcorder’s power shuts off automatically. Set the Power switch to “POWER OFF”, and then back to
“CAMERA” to turn the camcorder on again.
● If the Recording Start/Stop button is pressed after the Record-Standby mode has continued for over 5
minutes, recording may not start immediately.
● Sometimes even simply ejecting and reloading the tape may cause the tape’s present position to change
slightly. If you’re recording on a cassette from the middle, use the RETAKE function (
੬
pg. 12) to find the
end of the last recording so you don’t erase any of it.
● The LENS COVER warning blinks for about 10 seconds when the camcorder is turned on, when the cover
is closed.
