b Notes
Before changing the battery pack, slide the POWER
switch up to OFF (CHG).
In the default setting, when you do not operate the
camcorder for more than about 5 minutes, the power
will automatically turn off to prevent battery loss
([A.SHUT OFF], p. 59). To restart recording, slide
the POWER switch until the CAMERA lamp lights
up, and then press REC START/STOP.
z Tips
To ensure smooth transition on a tape from the last
recorded scene to the next, note the following.
– Do not remove the cassette. (The picture will be
recorded continuously without a break even when
you turn the power off.)
Do not record pictures in SP mode and LP mode on
the same tape.
– Avoid stopping then recording a movie in the LP
mode.
The recording time, date, and the camera settings
data are recorded automatically on the tape without
being displayed on the screen. You can view this
information during playback if you set [DATA
CODE] on the screen (p. 37).
Recording for a longer time
To record for a longer time
In the (TAPE SET) menu, select [REC
MODE], then [LP] (p. 54).
In the LP mode, you can record 1.5 times longer
than you can when recording in the SP mode.
A tape recorded in the LP mode should be
played back only on this camcorder.
Using zoom
You can choose zoom to magnification levels
greater than 10 times, and from that point
activate the digital zoom ([D ZOOM], p. 47).
Occasional use of the zoom is effective, but
use it sparingly for best results.
Move the power zoom lever slightly for a
slower zoom. Move it further for a faster
zoom.
To record wider range of view
Move the power zoom lever towards W.
The subject appears farther away (Wide
angle).
To record closer view
Move the power zoom lever towards T.
The subject appears closer (Telephoto).
Recording in mirror mode
You can turn the LCD panel towards the
subject so that you and your subject can share
the image being recorded. You can also
utilize this function when recording yourself,
to keep the attention of small children
attracted to the camcorder while you record
them.
1 cm (approx. 1/2 inch)*
80 cm (approx. 2 5/8 feet)*
* The minimum distance required between your
camcorder and the subject to get a sharp focus in
that position of the lever.
