Note
Fasten the grip strap firmly. Do not touch the built-in microphone during recording.
Note on Recording mode
Your camcorder records and plays back in the SP (standard play) mode and in the LP
(long play) mode. Select SP or LP in the MENU settings. In the LP mode, you can record
1.5 times as long as in the SP mode.
When you record a tape in the LP mode on your camcorder, we recommend playing the
tape on your camcorder.
Note on the lock (DCR-TRV10 only)
When you slide the lock to the right, the POWER switch can no longer be set to
MEMORY accidentally. The lock is set to the left before your camcorder leaves the
factory.
To enable smooth transition
Transition between the last scene you recorded and the next scene is smooth as long as
you do not eject the cassette even if you turn off your camcorder. When you change the
battery pack, set the POWER switch to OFF. When you use a tape with cassette
memory, however, you can make the transition smooth even after ejecting the cassette if
you use the END SEARCH function (p. 24).
If you leave your camcorder in the standby mode for 5 minutes while the cassette
is inserted
Your camcorder automatically turns off. This is to save battery power and to prevent
battery and tape wear. To resume the standby mode, set the POWER switch to OFF, and
to CAMERA again.
When you record in the SP and LP modes on one tape or you record some scenes
in the LP mode
The playback picture may be distorted or the time code may not be written properly
between scenes.
