Playing back a tape
Recording data
Recording data is your camcorder's information
when you have recorded. In the recording mode,
the recording data will not be displayed.
When you use data code function, bars
(-- -- ---- and --:--:--) appear if:
– A blank section of the tape is being played
back.
– The tape is unreadable due to tape damage or
noise.
– The tape was recorded by a camcorder without
the date and time set.
Data code
When you connect your camcorder to the TV, the
data code appears on the TV screen.
Remaining battery time indicator during
playback
The indicator indicates the approximate
continuous playback time. The indicator may not
be correct, depending on the conditions in which
you are playing back. When you close the LCD
panel and open it again, it takes about 1 minute
for the correct remaining battery time to be
displayed.
