Recording reminder
When you start recording, the
camcorder counts from 0SEC to
10SEC. Shots which are shorter than
ten seconds may be difficult to edit
later. On the other hand, if you are not
planning to edit the recording,
remember that a shot which does not
contain action should generally last no
longer than 10 seconds.
“ AUTO POWER OFF”
• The camcorder will turn itself off if
you leave it in record pause mode for
more than about 5 minutes. This
display appears 20 seconds (approx.)
before the camcorder turns off.
Time Code
This records counter information,
including hour, minute, second, and
frame number on a special data code
area on the tape itself. It is reset
automatically when a new tape is
loaded. In CAMERA mode, the frame
number doesn’t appear in the display.
