Notes

Note on Recording mode
Your camcorder records and plays back in the SP
(standard play) mode and in the LP (long play)
mode. Select SP or LP in the menu settings
(p. 132). In the LP mode, you can record 1.5
times as long as in the SP mode.
When you record a tape in the LP mode on your
camcorder, we recommend playing the tape on
your camcorder.
To enable smooth transition
Transition between the last scene you recorded
and the next scene is smooth as long as you do
not eject the cassette even if you turn off your
camcorder.
However, check the following:
– When you change the battery pack, set the
POWER switch to OFF (CHARGE).
– When you use a tape with cassette memory,
however, you can make the transition smooth
even after ejecting the cassette if you use the
end search function (p. 43).
