Note on Standby mode
If you leave the camcorder for 5 minutes or more with a cassette inserted in Standby mode, the
camcorder goes off automatically. This prevents wearing down the battery and wearing out the tape.
To resume Standby mode, turn STANDBY down once and turn it up again. To start recording, press
START/STOP.
To Focus the Viewfinder Lens
If the viewfinder is not in focus at all or when you use the camcorder after someone else has used it,
focus the viewfinder lens. Turn the viewfinder lens adjustment ring [a] (CCD-TR78/TR88) or move
the viewfinder lens adjustment lever [b] (CCD-TR98) so that the indicators in the viewfinder come
into sharp focus.
