To stop recording momentarily [a]
Press START/STOP again. The “STBY” indicator appears in the viewfinder (Standby
mode).
To finish recording [b]
Press START/STOP again. Turn STANDBY down and set the POWER switch to OFF.
Then, eject the cassette, remove the battery pack and put the lens cap on the lens.
To focus the viewfinder lens
If you cannot see the indicators in the viewfinder clearly, or
after someone else has used the camcorder, focus the
viewfinder lens. Move the viewfinder lens adjustment lever so
that the indicators in the viewfinder come into sharp focus.
Note on Standby mode
If you leave the camcorder in Standby mode for 5 minutes while the cassette is inserted,
the camcorder turns off automatically. This prevents wearing down the battery and
wearing out the tape. To resume Standby mode, turn STANDBY down once and then
up again. To start recording, press START/STOP.
Note on recording
When you record from the beginning of a tape, run the tape by recording for about 15
seconds before you start the actual recording. This will ensure that you won’t miss any
start-up scenes when you play back the tape.
You can record tapes in SP (standard play) mode only.
Note on the tape counter
The tape counter indicates the recording or playback time. Use it as a guide. There will
be a time lag of several seconds from the actual time. To set the counter to zero, press
COUNTER RESET.
Note on the beep sound
As indicated with ≥ in the illustrations, a beep sounds when you turn the power on or
when you start recording, and two beeps sound when you stop recording, confirming
the operation. Several beeps also sound as a warning of any unusual condition of the
camcorder.
Note that the beep sound is not recorded on the tape. If you do not want to hear the
beep sound, select “OFF” in the menu system.
Notes on finder power save
• The recording continues even when the picture in the viewfinder disappears during
recording.
• If you set VF PW-SAVE to OFF in the menu system, the picture in the viewfinder
does not disappear even when you turn your face away from the viewfinder.
