Searching the Tape (Photo Search/Date Search)
This allows you to move quickly through still pictures recorded anywhere on a
tape (photo search) or between different days or areas of recording (date search)
on a tape.
1. Press the SEARCH SELECT button to choose between photo/date
search.
PHOTO SEARCH or DATE SEARCH is shown in the display for 4
seconds.
2. Press the - and + buttons to move backwards or forwards
through the still pictures or between different days of recording.
Press once to move to the start of the previous/next still picture or day on
the tape.
You can press more than once to move to the corresponding still picture or
day (up to a maximum of 10 times), e.g. press the + button 5 times to
move forward 5 still pictures or days.
PHOTO SEARCH/DATE SEARCH appears in the middle of the display
alongside the - or + mark and number to search through. You can
change direction easily by pressing the button for the opposite direction.
Notes:
Press 3 (stop) to stop mid-search.
If you begin a search very close to the start of a recorded still picture during
photo search, the camcorder may skip straight past it.
When you have set the area for the World Clock, date search also looks for the
change in date based on the adjusted time.
A date/area cannot be identified if the total recording time on that day/area was
less than 1 minute.
Date search playback may start just before or after the beginning of the located
section.
If the data code is not displayed correctly you will not be able to operate the
date search correctly.
