Flying Erase Head

A separate erase head is mounted on
the spinning headwheel (hence the term
"flying"). This allows you to make
clean edits without the "glitches" or
"rainbow noise" that may occur at the
beginning or the end of recordings.

Microphone

The microphone picks up the sound
during a recording. It is more sensitive
to sounds coming from the direction the
lens is pointed.

Microphone Jack

microphone jack (MIC) for attaching an
optional microphone.

DISPLAY Button

Press the DISPLAY button when the
camcorder is connected to a TV monitor
to have the viewfinder displays appear
on the TV screen. They will be
recorded during tape copying if they
appear. Press DISPLAY again to
remove them.
