Using Macro
This function allows you to shoot subjects as close as 3/8 inches (1cm). Press and hold the power zoom control
W. The camera focuses on the subject automatically. Check your lighting as it tends to be insufficient when
filming close up.
Date Search
The date search function memorizes the start and end positions of recordings you made on a specific day so you
can easily locate those positions later as long as the cassette is left in the camcorder.
Note: Be sure that the date and time are set.
1. Attach a power source and slide the CAM/OFF/VIDEO switch to VIDEO.
2. Press the DATE/TITLE button (the DISPLAY button on the remote control) to display "SEARCH" in the
viewfinder or LCD monitor.
3. Press the REW button to search for the start position from which you last made a recording or the F.F button
(the F.FWD button on the remote control) to recording end position.
4. When the required position is located, the camcorder enters the stop mode and "SEARCH" disappears from
the viewfinder or LCD monitor.
Note: If you have ejected the cassette, this function will not operate with that cassette. (When a cassette is
inserted and the recording is started, the position is identified as the recording start position on that day.)
Note: If the clock battery is not inserted, the date search function does not operate when the battery providing
the power to the camcorder is removed.
Note: When the cassette was recorded by another camcorder, the date search function does not operate.
Note: The date search function is released when you press the STOP button during date search mode.
Note: If the recorded time is less than 30 seconds, the date search function may not operate normally.
