STEREO: Stereo Sound (main sound and sub sound)
L: Left channel sound (main sound)
R: Right channel sound (sub sound)
If an attempt was made to perform audio dubbing for what
was recorded with [12bit] selected as the [AUDIO REC]
setting, the sound played back will be set to stereo
regardless of the [AUDIO OUT] setting if [12bit AUDIO] is
set to [MIX].
ªIndex Search Functions
Index Search may not be possible at the beginning of tape.
Because Photoshot Index Signals are not recorded on still
pictures recorded in Continuous Photoshot Mode, the
Photoshot Index Search Function cannot be used for these
still pictures.
Scene Index Search may not function properly if the
interval between 2 scene index signals is shorter than 1
minute.
ªPlayback Digital Effect Functions
Signals of images to which digital effects are added during
playback cannot be output from the DV Terminal (l 7) or
Digital Still Picture Terminal (l 34).
You cannot use the Wipe or Mix Function while playing
back the non-recorded portion of tape.
ªPlayback Zoom Function
You cannot adjust the sound volume with the Remote
Controller in Playback Zoom Mode.
If you turn off the Movie Camera power or if you switch
from VCR Mode to Camera Mode, Playback Zoom Mode is
automatically cancelled.
Even if Playback Zoom Functions are being used, images
that are output from the DV Terminal (l 7) or Digital Still
Picture Terminal (l 34) are not enlarged.
As you enlarge an image, the quality of image suffers.
If you select Multi-Picture Mode in the Playback Zoom
Mode, equivalent magnification (1k) becomes zoom
magnification.
You cannot use the Mirror Mode of Digital Effects and the
Playback Zoom Functions simultaneously.
During the Playback Zoom Function, the Variable Speed
Search Function cannnot be used with the Remote
Controller.
ªPlaying Back on Your TV
If you set [AV JACK] on the [AV IN/OUT SETUP]
Sub-Menu to [IN/OUT] with NV-MX8, nothing will be shown
on the TV screen except during playback.
ªAudio Dubbing
The blank section of a tape cannot be dubbed.
Sounds sent through the DV Terminal cannot be dubbed.
If a tape has a non-recorded portion when the tape is
dubbed, images and sounds may be disturbed when this
portion of the tape is played back.
If you set the tape counter back to 0 at the position where
you want to stop Audio Dubbing so as to make it possible
to use the Memory Stop Function (l 55), Audio Dubbing is
terminated automatically when the tape reaches this
position.
In the case of importing data recorded with Audio Dubbing
to a PC using the PCs software programme, only the
original sound (ST1) may be imported, depending on the
software programme.
ªRecording the Contents of Other
Equipment
Recording to a Card
If you set the [TAPE/CARD] Selector to [CARD], you can use
the Card Photoshot function for external input signals.
Black streaks may appear at the 4 edges of the image.
When the [PHOTO SHOT] Button is pressed, the image
may seem to move backward momentarily, but this does
not affect the recording.
If the [PICTURE/MPEG4/VOICE] Selector is set to
[VOICE], recording to a card is not possible.
During the recording with analog input, a Card Photoshot
Function cannot be used.
The picture size recorded from an external input or a tape
is [640k480].(It is not a mega pixel still picture recording.)
Analog-Digital Conversion
When the Movie Camera is connected with other digital
video equipment through its DV Terminal, images recorded
in analog form from other external equipment can be output
to the digital video equipment through the DV Terminal.
To DV-output analog video signals sent from other
equipment, set [DV OUT] on the [AV IN/OUT SETUP]
Sub-Menu to [ON]. (Normally, keep the [DV OUT] set to
[OFF]. If it is set to [ON], the quality of the image may be
disturbed.)
ªUsing the DV Cable for Recording
(Digital Dubbing)
If you set the [TAPE/CARD] Selector to [CARD], you can
use the Card Photoshot function for external input signals.
Regardless of the setting, digital dubbing is carried out
automatically in the same audio recording mode as that of
the Cassette on the playback-side. (NV-MX6/MX8 only)
The images on the monitor of the recording side may be
disturbed, but it does not affect the recorded images.
Even if Playback Digital Effects, Playback Zoom, or
Playback Title In have been used, these effects are not
output from the DV Terminal.
Even if you use device equipped with DV Terminals (such
as i.LINK), you may not be able to perform Digital Dubbing
in some cases.
ªAutoprint
When the cooling function of a video printer has been
working and the printing speed is dropping, Autoprint may
stop. When this happens, set [AUTO PRINT] to [YES] once
more.
If you replace the Ink Cassette or paper during printing, the
same picture may be printed twice.
When the Movie Camera is not connected to the video
printer properly, when the Ink Cassette is not inserted or is
empty, or when the printer is out of paper, the [PRINTER
ERROR] Indication appears.
Some Photoshot images may be skipped during Autoprint.
ªRecording on a Card
The sound cannot be recorded.
The Shutter Effect cannot be used.
If [ECONOMY] is selected for recording, mosaic-pattern
noise may appear on a playback image depending on the
image content.
During automatic recording of images, the number of
images that can still be recorded on the Card is displayed.
When it becomes [0], the Tape is set to the Recording
Pause Mode.
Pictures with wide-screen format signals cannot be copied.
The size of pictures recorded from tape to card is
640k480
ªCard Photoshot
