Video Recording
• When the Power switch is set to
A
or
M
and the LCD monitor is opened at an angle
of 25˚ or more, the LCD monitor switches on and the viewfinder switches off
automatically to save power.
• The cassette tape holder can’t be opened unless a power supply is attached.
• There may be a delay after you slide EJECT until the cassette tape holder opens. Do
not use force.
• The time required to calculate the remaining tape length, and the accuracy of the
calculation, may vary according to the type of tape used.
• The tape remaining time icon is accurate only if the correct tape length has been
selected (see page 24).
• TAPE END appears when the tape reaches its end, and the power goes off
automatically if left in this condition for 5 minutes.
TAPE END also appears when a tape whose tape is already at its end is loaded.
• If the Recording Start/Stop button is pressed after the Record-Standby mode has
continued for over 5 minutes, recording may not start immediately.
• While shooting, sound is not heard from the speaker.

search.
• If the playback picture is distorted when TBC is set to on, turn off TBC.
