Searching and Reviewing While Recording
When the camcorder 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. Press and release the c (record review) button while you check the
picture in the display.
The camcorder rewinds the tape, plays back the last few seconds, and returns
to record pause mode.
Note:
Noise may appear on the screen when you play the tape backwards.

SEARCH
When the camcorder 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 resume 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.
