Electronic Indexing; Time Remaining Display - RCA CC421 User Manual

Camcorder Features

Electronic Indexing

Each time you begin recording (after the camcorder has been turned off for at least
four hours), the camcorder will automatically record an index mark at the beginning of
the new recording.
When you play back the indexed tape in a VCR that has a compatible indexing feature
called "VHS Index Search System", the invisible marks can be located automatically.
See your VCR owner's manual for index playback instructions.
INDEX will appear briefly in the
viewfinder to let you know the camcorder
is recording an index mark.

Time Remaining Display

The time remaining display shows the amount of recording or playback time left on the
tape in the camcorder.
"– – – – – –"will appear for
approximately ten seconds when you first
start playing or recording a tape while the
camcorder calculates the time remaining.

Viewfinder Display
Note: The camcorder does not record index
marks every time you stop and start recording.
An index mark is recorded only once — at the
start of each day's recording session (or
whenever the camcorder has been turned off
for at least four hours).
Viewfinder Display
Once time remaining has been calculated,
it will automatically be updated and
readily available as long as the same tape
remains in the camcorder.
