Camera recording
Note on the lighting aperture
If direct sunlight enters the lighting aperture, the picture in the viewfinder appears
brighter. When this happens, colors in the viewfinder may change.
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 and up again.
To start recording, press START/STOP.
Notes on recording mode
•This camcorder records and plays back in SP (standard play) mode and in LP (long
play) mode. However, the playback quality in LP mode will not be as good as that in
SP mode.
•When you record a tape in LP mode on this camcorder, we recommend you to play
the tape on this camcorder. When you play back the tape on other camcorders or
VCRs, noise may occur on a picture or sound.
Noise may occur also when you play on this camcorder the tape recorded in LP mode
on other camcorders or VCRs.
Note on recording
When you record from the beginning of a tape, run the tape for about 15 seconds before
starting the actual recording. This will ensure that you won’t miss any start-up scenes
when you play back the tape.
