Blank Search

With the press of a button, the camcorder
advances through the tape looking for a
blank section. This feature saves time
and tape by locating the end of the last
recorded segment.
1. Place the camcorder in record pause.
2. Press the BLANK button.
The camcorder fast forwards or
rewinds the tape to the end of the
recorded portion, stops, and enters
record pause. BLANK appears in the
viewfinder during blank search.
Notes: Before starting to record, make
sure the camcorder has stopped on the
blank section of tape where you want to
begin recording. If there are blank
portions of tape between scenes, the blank
search feature may stop on blank sections
of tape as short as 60 seconds.
Blank search can also be used in the
VCR(PLAY) mode. When the camcorder is
being used to play back a tape, just place
the camcorder in the stop mode and press
BLANK.
