• When recording at the beginning of a tape, advance
the tape about 15 seconds before you begin
recording. This will prevent the beginning of the
recording from being cut off when it is played back.
To pause recording
Press the REC START/STOP button again.
Recording pauses, and the camcorder enters
Recording Standby mode.
To turn the power off
Set the Power switch to OFF without pressing the
Lock button.
Notes:
• The speaker is off in Tape Recording mode.
• Battery power is consumed in Recording Standby
mode. Turn off the power if you will not be recording
again soon.
• If the camcorder remains in Recording Standby
mode for more than 5 minutes in Tape Recording
mode, the power will automatically turn off to save
battery power and to protect the tape from being
damaged. To resume recording after the power has
been turned off, set the Power switch to OFF and
then back to CAMERA. (The camcorder will make a
confirmation sound when it is left in Recording
Standby mode for about 4 minutes.)
