camcorder has been turned off for at least
four hours), the camcorder automatically
records an index mark at the beginning of
the new recording.
When you play back the indexed tape in a
VCR that has a compatible indexing
feature called "VHS Index Search
System" the invisible marks can be
located automatically. See your VCR
Owner's Manual for index playback
instructions.
