Recorded Contents

of recording on the viewfinder screen in black and white or
in color on the LCD monitor. There are two other ways to
review the recording.
• Recording review: You can view the last two to ten
seconds of the recording on the viewfinder screen in
black and white or in color on the LCD monitor.
• Playback in external color video monitor: You can see
the recording in color on a color video monitor without
the need for any external adaptor.
For details about the switches and controls used to select
the audio output signal and to adjust the audio level, see
"Location and Function of Parts" on page 10.

Recording Review
With recording paused, press the RET button on the lens.
The tape is automatically rewound over the last
approximately 2 seconds of the recording (approximately
10 seconds maximum if you press and hold the RET
button), and then this last part of the recording is shown in
the viewfinder and on the LCD monitor. Use this function
to check whether recording went correctly.
By assigning the LENS RET function to the ASSIGN
switch, you can use the switch in the same way as the lens
RET button.
For details, see "Assigning functions to ASSIGN
switches" on page 107.
Notes
• During recording review, do not set the POWER switch
to off. The camcorder may not be able to find the
continue point.
• You cannot start recording until the recording review has
finished.
