Recording & Playback
ENGLISH
● You can zoom in up to 34X by using the optical
zoom.
● Zoom magnification over 34X is done through
digital image processing, and is therefore called
digital zoom. Digital zooming is possible up to
800X. Set (ZOOM) to [68X] or [800X]. (墌 22)
Notes:
● Macro shooting is possible as close as approx.
5 cm to the subject when the zoom lever is set
all the way to “W”.
● When you zoom into a subject close to the lens,
the camera may automatically zoom out
depending on the distance to the subject. In this
case, set
“TELE MACRO” to “ON”. (墌 22)
During recording, a time code is recorded on
the tape. This code is to confirm the location of
the recorded scene on the tape during
playback.
* Frames are not displayed during recording.
If recording starts from a blank portion, the time
code begins counting from “00:00:00”
(minute:second:frame). If recording starts from
the end of a previously recorded scene,
the time code continues from the last time code
number. If during recording a blank portion is
left partway through the tape, the time code is
interrupted. When recording is resumed, the
time code starts counting up again from
“00:00:00”. This means the camcorder may
record the same time codes as those existing
in a previously recorded scene. To prevent this,
perform “Recording From The Middle Of A
Tape” (墌 17) in the following cases;
● When shooting again after playing back a
recorded tape.
● When power shuts off during shooting.
● When a tape is removed and re-inserted during
shooting.
● When shooting using a partially recorded tape.
● When shooting on a blank portion located
partway through the tape.
● When shooting again after shooting a scene
then opening/closing the cassette holder cover.
Notes:
● The time code cannot be reset.
● During fast-forwarding and rewinding, the time
code indication does not move smoothly.
● The time code is displayed only when “TIME
CODE” is set to “ON”. (墌 23)
Play back a tape or use Blank Search
(墌 19) to find the spot at which you want to
start recording, then engage the Still
Playback mode (墌 18).
Set the Power Switch to “REC” (墌 11),
then start recording.
