TAPE REMAINING
During recording and playback, the camcorder
displays a bar below the tape counter in the
viewfinder showing the amount of tape left on
the loaded cassette. The camcorder displays re-
maining tape information in ranges from
(the tape is at or near the beginning),
(the tape is in or near the middle), to
(the tape is at or near the end).
Notes:
When there is less than 5 minutes of tape
left,
TAPE END
also flashes in the view-
finder.
When you first record or play back a cas-
sette, the camcorder displays for
about 10 seconds. Then the bar changes to
show the remaining amount of tape.
The remaining tape bar disappears when
you eject the cassette.
TITLER
You can easily create and record personalized
titles on your recordings using the camcorder’s
titler.
The camcorder stores up to two title “pages” in
its memory. Once you store a title, you can dis-
play and record it onto a tape any time. Each title
page can contain up to two lines of 16 charac-
ters each.
The titler contains 47 different characters you
can use to create titles.
