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 appears in the display for 4 seconds.
2. Press the - and + buttons to move backwards or
forwards through the still images or between different days
of recording.
Press once to move to the start of the previous/next still image or day
on the tape.
You can press more than once to move to the corresponding still image
or day (up to a maximum of 10 times), e.g. press the + button 5
times to move forward 5 still images 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 searching.
If you begin a search very close to the start of a recorded still image during
photo search, the camcorder may skip straight past it.
When you have set the time zone, date search also looks for the change in
date based on the adjusted time.
A date/time zone cannot be identified if the total recording time on that
day/time zone 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.
