Camera recording
To erase the indicators in the viewfinder
You can erase the indicators in the viewfinder except for menu and warning indicators.
Set VF DISPLAY to OFF.
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.
Note on Standby mode
If you leave the digital camcorder in Standby mode for 5 minutes while a cassette is
inserted, the digital 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.
Note on time code display
While recording or playing back, the time code shows hours, minutes, seconds and
frame number (0:00:00:00). If there is a blank portion between pictures on a tape, the
time code restarts from zero. You cannot rewrite the time code only.
You can select the drop frame or non-drop frame system. Set DF or NDF using the TC
switch inside the cover of the video control buttons.
You can erase only time code display in the viewfinder. Set TC IND in the menu to OFF.
Note on the beep sound
As indicated with ≥ in the illustration, 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
digital 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.
