Make sure that the power source is installed and a cassette is inserted. Before you
record one-time events, you may want to make a trial recording to make sure that the
camcorder is working correctly.
When you use the camcorder for the first time, power on it and reset the date and time
to your time before you start recording. (p.72) To save battery power, the picture in the
viewfinder appears only when you bring your face close to the viewfinder with
STANDBY up (Finder power save).

CAMERA.
