Advanced Techniques

Using Quick Edit

Use quick edit to search for the end of previously recorded material, find a
particular spot on your tape, begin editing, or record new material. While
the camera is in record/pause mode hold down the F.FWD, REW, or
PLAY button and visually search the tape. Release the button and the
camera/recorder stops the tape at the exact position you selected.

Using Macro

This function allows you to shoot subjects as close as 1.2 inches. Press
and hold the power zoom control W. The camera focuses on the subject
automatically. Check your lighting as it tends to be insufficient when
filming close up.

Using 16x9

Pressing the 16x9 button during recording or recording pause fades the
top and bottom of the picture in the viewfinder to black.
