Recording a picture
To enable smooth transition
Transition between the last scene you recorded
and the next scene is smooth as long as you do
not eject the cassette even if you turn off your
camcorder. When you use a tape with cassette
memory, however, you can make the
transition smooth even after ejecting the
cassette if you use the end search function (p.
36).
However, check the following:
•When you change the battery pack, set the
POWER switch to OFF (CHG).
•Do not mix recordings in the SP mode and
ones in the LP mode on one tape.
Note on tape transition
The playback picture may be distorted or the
time code may not be written properly
between scenes when:
•You change the recording mode (SP/LP).
•You record in LP mode.
If you leave your camcorder in standby
mode for five minutes while the cassette is
inserted
Your camcorder automatically turns off. This is
to prevent tape wear and save battery power.
To resume the standby mode, set the POWER
switch to OFF (CHG), and to CAMERA again.
When a cassette is not inserted, your
camcorder does not turn off.
