POWER
This allows you to move quickly through still pictures recorded anywhere on a tape (photo search) or
between different days or areas of recording (date search).
• You can only use this function from the wireless controller.
1. Slide the POWER switch to VCR.
2. Press the SEARCH SELECT button to choose between photo/date search.
• PHOTO SEARCH or DATE SEARCH is shown in the display for four seconds.
3. Press the - and + buttons to move backwards or forwards through the still pictures
or between different days of recording.
• Press once to move to the start of the previous/next still picture or day on the tape.
• You can press more than once to move to the corresponding still picture or day (up to a maximum of
ten times), e.g. press the + button five times to move forward five still pictures or days.
• PHOTO SEARCH/DATE SEARCH appears in the middle of the display alongside the - or +
mark and number to search through. The date also appears during date search.
• When the camcorder locates the indicated date or still picture, it enters playback or still playback
mode.
Notes:
• Press 3 (stop) to stop mid-search.
• If you begin a search very close to the start of a recorded still picture during photo search, the camera
may skip straight past it.
• When you have set the area for the World Clock, date search also looks for the change in date based on
the adjusted time.
• A date/area cannot be identified if the total recording time on that day/area was less than one minute.
• Date search playback may start just before or after the beginning of the located section.
• If the data code is not displayed correctly you will not be able to operate the date search correctly.
