ª Finding the End of Recording
(Blank Search Function)
The Blank Search Function aids you to locate the
end of the recording on the Cassette quickly.
1 Set [TAPE RECORDING MENU] or
[TAPE PLAYBACK MENU] >> [INITIAL] >>
[BLANK SEARCH] >> [YES].
The [BLANK] Indication appears during the
Blank Search.
Approximately 1 second before the last
recorded scene, the Movie Camera switches
to the Recording Pause Mode or the Still
Playback Mode.
If there is no blank left on the Cassette, the
Movie Camera stops at the end of the tape.

While the [TALK] Button
(92) is pressed, the [ ]
Indication is displayed and the sound is recorded

You can also record pictures onto a Card by

ª Progressive Photoshot
When the [æ] Indication is displayed,
Progressive Photoshot Function works.
You can record still pictures as frame still pictures
with higher quality by this function.
The Progressive Photoshot Function may not
be activated depending on the function you use.
(
-52-)
To record still pictures with higher quality, we
recommend setting to the Card Recording
Mode. (To activate the progressive function
regardless of the function you use)
When you record the tape and the card
simultaneously, the progressive function is not
activated.
ª Recording Yourself
By opening the LCD Monitor and rotating it
frontward (to the lens side), you can let the
subject in front of the Movie Camera monitor the
shot while recording is in progress.
When the [EVF ON/AUTO] is set to [AUTO] and
the LCD Monitor is opened, the Viewfinder is
disabled automatically. However, when the LCD
Monitor is rotated frontward, the image is also
shown in the Viewfinder.
If you prefer to have the image on the LCD
Monitor to look like an image in a mirror, set
[SELF REC] on the [LCD/EVF] Sub-Menu to
[MIRROR]. Images are recorded normally and
no left and right reversal occurs.
ª Frame Moving Pictures (Frame Mode)
Frame moving-picture recording enables to
obtain natural still pictures with a high picture
quality, even when the scenes involve a lot of
movement recording frame still pictures
continuously at a rate of 25 frames a second. (It is
also possible to record sound.)
