• Make sure the camera is in manual mode.
You can focus automatically when the auto focus mode is
selected.
• You may be shooting a scene where it is difficult to bring the
subject into focus in the auto focus mode.
If this is the case, focus in the manual focus mode.
It may be hard to bring the subject into focus when
* both close and distant objects are to be shot
* shooting through a dirty window
* shooting in a dark place
* there are sparkling or shiny objects around the subject
* the subject is moving fast
* shooting a scene with minimal contrast
• Make sure the tab on the cassette tape for preventing accidental
erasure is not set to SAVE.
You cannot edit when the tab is in this position.
• You may be trying to edit a part that was shot in LP mode.
You cannot dub after recording in LP mode as the track on the
tape is thinner than the head.
• The time code display may not register a regular count if a tape is
played in the reverse slow mode. This is normal.

continuously for periods of less than 30 seconds.
• The display may show 2 to 3 minutes less than the actual time
remaining on the tape.

No kind of playback operation can be performed unless this lamp
