Checking Recording and
Playback
By pressing the PLAY button, you can review
any length of recorded material in the viewfinder
in black and white. There are two other ways to
review the recording.
• Recording review: You can view the last 2
seconds of the recorded material in the
viewfinder.
• Color playback: You can view the recorded
material in color on a color video monitor
without the need for an external adaptor.
You can also view the picture during rewind or
fast forward searches by pressing the PLAY +
REW buttons or PLAY + F FWD buttons.
See "Timecode/menu operations section and audio
control section" on page 18 for information about
the switches and controls used to select the audio
output signal and to adjust the audio level.
Note
Noise may occur if you play back a tape recorded on this
camcorder on the HDW-F900 HD camcorder.
Checking the last two seconds of
the recording – recording review
If you press the RET button on the lens while
recording is paused, the last 2 seconds of the
recording are played back on the viewfinder
screen and the color LCD. Use this function to
check whether recording went smoothly. If you
hold the RET button down longer, up to 10
seconds of the tape are rewound and played back.
After playback, the camcorder is ready to start
recording again.
If you assign the LENS RET function to one of
the ASSIGN 1/3/4/5 switches or the RET button,
you can use that switch or button in the same way
as the RET button on the lens.
For details, see "Assigning functions to ASSIGN
switches" on page 132.
Note
The recording review functions only works if the
recording you have made is at least 3 seconds long.
