Electronic Indexing
The camcorder automatically records an
index mark every time it begins
recording after the cassette door has been
opened, an edit feature has been used, the
camcorder has been placed in the stop
mode, or the power has been turned off
for an extended period of time.
The INDEX indicator will flash briefly in
the viewfinder when the camcorder is
recording an index mark.
Later, when you play back the indexed
tape in a VCR that has a compatible
indexing feature called “VHS Index
Search System” the invisible marks can
be located automatically. See your VCR
owner’s manual for index playback
instructions.
