• In the LP mode, the picture quality will not be
degraded in comparison with the SP mode, but

in stereo, while the other 2 tracks can be used for
Audio Dubbing.
About date/time
• The Date and Time function are driven by a
built-in lithium battery.
• Make sure to check the time before recording
because the built-in clock is not very accurate.
