SET RECORDING MODE
1
First set the Power Switch to “CAMERA”. Press SP/LP
Button for more than 1 second. “SP” (Standard Play)
provides higher picture and sound quality and is
better for dubbing, while “LP” (Long Play) is more
economical, providing twice the recording time.
NOTE:
If the recording mode is switched during recording, the
playback picture will be blurred at the switching point.
