Checks and Adjustments
• Place VCR/OFF/CAMERA switch to OFF and then
CAMERA or VCR to turn back on. If camcorder is left in
record pause or play pause for several minutes, it will
turn itself off to prevent tape wear.
• Time-counter memory may be on. Whenever an "M"

rewinding or fast forwarding, or press COUNTER R/M to
turn off the memory-stop feature.

is moisture in the camcorder. Wait until this indicator no
longer appears before operating the camcorder.

work under these conditions. Place QUICK SET dial in
MAN and focus manually. See pages 34-35.
• Subject is not in center of viewfinder or two subjects are
at different distances. Place QUICK SET dial in MAN
