3-3 Checking the Recording
— Playback
By pressing the PLAY button, you can review any length of recording in
the viewfinder in black and white. There are two other ways to review
the recording.
• Recording review: You can view the last 2 seconds of the recording in
the viewfinder in black and white.
• Color playback: You can see the recording in color on a color video
monitor without the need for any external adaptor.
You may also view the picture during searching by rewinding or fast
forwarding by pressing the PLAY + REW button or PLAY + F FWD
button.
See “2-3 Audio Functions” on page 2-5 for information about the switches and
controls used to select the audio output signal and to adjust the audio level.
3-3-1 Checking the Last Two Seconds of the
Recording — Recording Review
If you press the RET button on the lens while recording is paused, the
last two seconds of the tape is automatically rewound, and that segment
is played back on the viewfinder screen. Use this function to check
whether recording went smoothly. If you hold the RET button down
longer, at most 10 seconds of the tape is rewound and played back. After
playback, the camcorder is ready to start recording again.
By assigning the LENS RET function to the ASSIGN 1 switch, you can
use the ASSIGN 1 switch in the same way as the RET button on the lens.
For details, see “4-8-5 Assigning Functions to ASSIGN 1/2 Switches” on page
4-109.
Note
The recording review functions only works if the recording you have
made is at least 3 seconds long.
