NOTES:
When the power switch is set to CAMERA and the LCD
monitor is opened at an angle of 60 degrees or more, the
LCD monitor switches on and the viewfinder switches off
automatically to save power.
A cassette holder can’t be opened unless a power supply is
attached.
There may be a delay after you press EJECT until the holder
opens. Do not use force.
The tape’s remaining time is displayed in the LCD monitor
or the viewfinder as shown.
The indicated remaining time is approximate.
The time required to calculate the remaining tape length,
and the accuracy of the calculation, may vary according to
the type of tape used.
The tape remaining time displayed in the viewfinder is
correct only if the correct tape length has been selected
(
pg. 12).
“TAPE END” appears when the tape reaches its end, and the
power goes off automatically if left in this condition for
5 minutes. “TAPE END” also appears when a cassette whose
tape is already at its end is loaded.
If the Record–Standby mode continues for 5 minutes without
performing Zoom or any other operations, the camcorder’s
power shuts off automatically. Set the Power switch to
“POWER OFF”, and then back to “CAMERA” to turn the
camcorder on again.
If you’re recording on a cassette from the middle, use the
RETAKE function (
pg. 20) to find the end of the last
recording so you don’t erase any of it.
The LENS COVER warning blinks for about 8 seconds when
the camcorder is turned on, when the cover is closed.
While shooting, sound is not heard from the speaker.
