Edit-erase
When an unwanted object or sound is recorded, such as someone
walking across the picture or the sound of a car horn, the edit-erase
function can be used to quickly return to the precise point where
recording began, and record the scene again. This function only
operates during the first 40 seconds or so of recording.
For about 40 seconds after starting to shoot a scene a >k mark
(asterisk) appears in the viewfinder next to the tape operations
display. The edit-erase function can be used while this >k mark is
displayed.
1. Make sure that 3k (asterisk) is displayed, then
press the start/stop button to pause recording.
2. Press the E. ERASE button.
• The tape is rewound to the recording start point at 3 times normal
speed, and the recorded picture is displayed (in reverse) in the
viewfinder. The camera returns automatically to record pause
mode at the start of the scene you want to record over.
• The asterisk disappears from the viewfinder.
3. Press the start/stop button to resume recording.
• The previously recorded scene is erased.
• The asterisk reappears.
