Journalistic Shooting
In some situations, different
shooting angles may provide
more dramatic results. Hold the
camcorder in the desired position
and tilt the LCD monitor in the
most convenient direction. It can
rotate 270° (90° downward, 180°
upward).
Self Recording
Open the LCD monitor and tilt
it upward to 180° so that it
faces forward, then point the
lens toward yourself and start
recording.
Time Code
During recording, a time code is recorded on the tape.
This code is to confirm the location of the recorded scene
on the tape during playback.
* Frames are not displayed during recording.
If recording starts from a blank portion, the time code
begins counting from “00:00:00” (minute:second:frame).
If recording starts from the end of a previously recorded
scene, the time code continues from the last time code
number.
If during recording a blank portion is left partway through
the tape, the time code is interrupted. When recording is
resumed, the time code starts counting up again from
“00:00:00”. This means the camcorder may record the
same time codes as those existing in a previously
recorded scene. To prevent this, perform “Recording
From The Middle Of A Tape” (See the right column) in the
following cases;
● When shooting again after playing back a recorded tape.
● When power shuts off during shooting.
● When a tape is removed and re-inserted during shooting.
● When shooting using a partially recorded tape.
● When shooting on a blank portion located partway through
the tape.
● When shooting again after shooting a scene then opening/
closing the cassette holder cover.
Recording From The Middle Of A Tape
1) Play back a tape or use Blank Search (੬ pg. 14) to
find the spot at which you want to start recording, then
engage the Still Playback mode. (੬ pg. 14)
2) Set the Power Switch to “A” or “M” while pressing
down the Lock Button located on the switch, then start
recording.
NOTES:
● The time code cannot be reset.
● During fast-forwarding and rewinding, the time code
indication does not move smoothly.
● The time code is displayed only when “TIME CODE” is set
to “ON”. (੬ pg. 27)
