About Your VIEWCAM
Recording Format
Hi8 is a high-performance extension of the
ordinary 8 mm format. It uses advanced
technology to achieve even higher resolution
and picture quality. Use a video cassette with
the mark for high-quality recording and
playback, or with the mark to enjoy ordinary
8 mm recording and playback.
• When you load a Hi8 tape, recording is in Hi8
format. (The indicator appears on the
LCD screen.) When you load a normal 8 mm
tape, recording is in ordinary 8 mm format.
(The indicator does not appear.)
• During playback, the recorded format is
automatically detected.
• Video equipment not for use with Hi8 is
unable to play back a tape recorded in Hi8
format.
• If you want to record with a Hi8 tape in normal
8 mm format, set the menu item to
“OFF” on the (MENU 2) screen (Camera
mode) before recording. (See page 23 for
operation of the menu screen.)
LCD Monitor Screen
The VIEWCAM is equipped with a large LCD
monitor screen that allows you to record
scenes while comfortably holding the
camcorder. The LCD monitor screen can be
rotated for easy recording at high or low
angles. It also functions as a handy playback
monitor so you can enjoy what you have just
recorded.
Cautions:
• Do not apply pressure to the screen.
• Do not expose the screen to shocks, as it may
break.
• Do not place the VIEWCAM with the screen
facing down.
Note:
• Use a soft cloth to clean the screen.
