Please use the Manual Focus Mode instead.
1) Recording a subject whose one end is
located close to the Camcorder and the
other end farther away from it
Because Auto Focus makes adjustments at
the center of an image, it may be impossible
to focus on a subject that is located in both
foreground and background.
2) Recording a subject behind dirty or dusty
glass
Because the focus is on the dirty glass, the
subject behind the glass will not be focused.
3) Recording a subject in dark surroundings
Because the light information that comes
through the lens decreases considerably,
the Camcorder cannot focus correctly.
4) Recording a subject that is surrounded by
objects with glossy surfaces or by highly
reflective objects
Because the Camcorder focuses on the
objects with glossy surfaces or on highly
reflective objects, the subject may become
blurry.
5) Recording a fast-moving subject
Because the focus lens inside moves
mechanically, it cannot keep up with a
fast-moving subject.
6) Recording a subject with little contrast
Because the Camcorder achieves focus
based upon the vertical lines of an image, a
subject with little contrast, such as a white
wall, may become blurry.
ª Time Code
Time Code signals are data that indicate time
measured in hours, minutes, seconds, and
frames (30 frames per second). If this data is
included in a recording, an address is assigned to
each image on the tape.
The Time Code is automatically recorded as a
part of the sub-code at each recording.
When a new (previously unrecorded) Cassette
is inserted, the Time Code automatically starts
from zero. If a recorded Cassette is inserted,
the Time Code picks up from the point where
the last scene was recorded. (In this case, when
the Cassette is inserted, the zero display
[0h00m00s00f] may appear, but the Time Code
starts from the previous value.)
The Time Code cannot be reset to zero.
Unless the Time Code is continuously recorded
from the beginning of a tape, accurate editing
may not be possible. To ensure that the Time
Code will be recorded with no breaks, we
recommend the use of the Blank Search
Function (
-28-) before recording a new scene.
ª Memory Stop Function
The Memory Stop Function is useful for the
following operations.
Rewinding or fast-forwarding a tape to a
desired position
1 Set [DISPLAY] >> [C.DISPLAY] >>
[MEMORY].
2 Reset the Tape Counter to zero at the tape
position from which you want to play it
back later. (
-14-, -22-)
3 Start playback or recording.
4 After playback or recording has finished:
Set the Camcorder to Tape Playback Mode.
5 Rewind the tape.
The tape automatically stops approximately
at the position where the counter was set to
zero.
Stopping editing automatically during audio
dubbing
1 Set [DISPLAY] >> [C.DISPLAY] >>
[MEMORY].
2 Reset the Tape Counter to zero at the
position where you want to stop editing.
3 Play back the still picture where you want to
start audio dubbing.
4 Start audio dubbing. (-51-)
Audio dubbing automatically stops at the
position where the counter was set to zero.
