Playback Modes |
The playback mode (SP or LP) is selected automatically according to the format in which the tape has
been recorded. The quality of the recorded picture in LP mode, however, will not be as good as that in
SP mode.
Note on AFM Hi-Fi stereo
When you play back a tape, the sound will be in monaural if:
- You record the tape using this camcorder, then play it back on an AFM Hi-Fi monaural video
recorder/ player.
- You record the tape on an AFM Hi-Fi monaural video recorder, then play it back on this camcorder.
LP (long play) mode
When you play back a tape recorded in LP mode, the LP indicator lights up in the viewfinder. This
camcorder cannot record a tape in LP mode.
Foreign 8 mm video
You cannot play back software recorded on a different TV color system. Because the TV color systems
differ from country to country, you may not be able to play back foreign pre-recorded software. Refer
to page 39 to check the TV color system of foreign countries.

Tips for Using the Battery Pack -
This section shows you how you can get the most out of your battery pack.
Always Carry Additional Batteries
Have sufficient battery pack power to do 2 to 3 times as much recording as you have planned.
Battery Life is Shorter in Cold Environment
Battery efficiency is decreased and the battery will be used up more quickly if you are recording ina
cold environment.
To Save Battery Power
Turn STANDBY on the camcorder down when not recording to save battery power [a] (p. 35).
A smooth transition between scenes can be made even if recording is stopped and started again. While
you are positioning the subject, selecting an angle, or looking through the viewfinder lens, the lens
moves automatically and the battery is used. The battery is also used when a tape is inserted or
removed.
