Recording a picture
Notes
•Fasten the grip strap firmly.
•The recording data (date/time or various
settings when recorded) are not displayed
while recording. However, they are recorded
automatically onto tape. To display the
recording data, press DATA CODE on the
Remote Commander during playback (p. 52).
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. 240). 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 back the tape
on your camcorder.
Note on the LOCK switch (except DCR-TRV16E/
TRV116E)
When you slide the LOCK switch to the right, the
POWER switch can no longer be set to MEMORY
accidentally. LOCK switch is set to the left as the
default setting.
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:
– Do not mix recordings in the SP mode and in
the LP mode on one tape.
– When you change the battery pack, set the
POWER switch to OFF (CHG).
– When you use a cassette with cassette memory,
however, you can make the transition smooth
even after ejecting the cassette if you use the
END SEARCH function (p. 48).
