Canon E 500 - Manual (Page 29)

Loading and Unloading Video Cassettes
Use a video cassette with the m mark (P5
type). Be sure to attach a power source to the
camera before loading or unloading a video
cassette.
1. Press the A (EJECT) button.
• The cassette compartment lifts up and opens.
• The EJECT button works with the power
turned off, as long as a power source is
attached.
2. Load/unload the cassette.
• When loading, gently insert the cassette with
the window facing out.
• When unloading, remove the cassette by
pulling it straight out.
3. Close the cassette compartment.
• Press the PUSH mark on the compartment
until It clicks.
• The compartment closes automatically.
N otes:
• When the EJECT button is pressed, the
compartment opens automatically. Do not try to
open the compartment during this automatic stage,
as it may cause a malfunction.
• If a cassette is removed and then replaced, the tape
position will change slightly, therefore, after
reloading the cassette, use the record search
function to locate the desired starting point (see
page 64).
• When you close the video cassette compartment, do
not press down the top of the compartment. ISc^l
