Check and Edit Functions
The camera has three different functions to heip
you check and edit your recordings while you are
making them. You can make sure that important
scenes are properly taped and eliminate mistakes
from your recordings.
Record search
When the camera is in record pause mode, you
can use record search to play the tape forwards or
backwards to find the point where you want to start
or restart recording. This is useful when you want
to add a new scene to a previously used cassette.
By using record search, you can ensure a smooth,
noise-free join between the new scene and the old
one.

pause mode.
2. Press and hoid the REC SEARCH -i- or -
button whiie you check the picture in
the viewfinder.
• The
-I-
button plays the recording fonwards and
the - button plays it backwards.
3. Release the button when you find the
point where you want to start recording.
• The record search picture pauses briefly and
then the camera returns to record pause
mode.
Record review
When the camera is in record pause mode, you
can use record review to play back the last few
seconds of your recording and then return
automatically to record pause mode. You can
quickly make sure that a scene has recorded
properly and then go on to shoot the next scene,
without producing any noise in the picture.
1. Make sure the camera is in record
pause mode.
2. Press and release the (record
review) button while you check the
picture in the viewfinder.

Edit-erase
If a scene is ruined by an unwanted object or
sound being recorded, use edit-erase to quickly
rewind and start again.
For the first 40 seconds or so of recording, an
asterisk >k appears in the viewfinder next to the
REC or PAUSE display. This means that the edit-
erase function is available.
1. Check that the asterisk is displayed in
the viewfinder, then press the start/stop
button to enter record pause mode.
