Searching the Tape (Photo Search/Date Search/Index Search)
This allows you to move quickly through still pictures recorded anywhere on a tape (photo search), between
different days or areas of recording (date search), or index signals recorded anywhere on a tape (index
search).
1. Press the SEARCH SELECT button to choose between photo/date/index search.
PHOTO SEARCH, DATE SEARCH or INDEX SEARCH is shown in the display for 4 seconds.
2. Press the - and + buttons to move backwards or forwards through the still pictures,
between different days of recording or recorded index signal.
Press once to move to the start of the previous/next still picture, day or index on the tape.
You can press more than once to move to the corresponding still picture, day or index (up to a
maximum of 10 times), e.g. press the + button 5 times to move forward 5 still pictures, days or index
signals.
PHOTO SEARCH/DATE SEARCH/INDEX SEARCH appears in the middle of the viewfinder
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 camera 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/index 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.
