Cassettes
Loading and unloading
1. Press the EJECT A button and wait for
the cassette compartment to open.
2. Load/unload the cassette.
• Insert the cassette gently with the window
facing out.
• Remove the cassette by pulling it straight out.
3. Press the WM mark on the
compartment until it clicks, and wait for
it to close,
• Never push down the top of the compartment.
You have a choice of two recording speeds:
• Standard Play (SP) for maximum quality
• Long Play (LP) for double recording time
You can change the tape speed by pressing the
SP/LP button. (SP or LP is displayed in the
viewfinder.) Change tape speed in record pause
mode — changing during recording will cause
noise on the tape.
The camera automatically selects the appropriate
speed for playback.
To protect your recordings from accidental erasure,
slide the red switch on the cassette so that it
covers the hole. (This switch position is usually
labelled SAVE or ERASE OFF). When this
cassette is loaded, the
mark will flash in the
viewfinder if you set the OPERATE switch to
CAMERA.
If you want to record on the cassette again, slide
the red switch back so the hole is open. (This
position is usually labelled REC or ERASE ON.)
Notes:
• For best results, you should not use Hi8 tapes
with this camera.
• Cassettes can be loaded and unloaded with the
camera turned off, as long as a power source is
attached.
• Do not interfere with the compartment while it is
opening or closing automatically.
• After loading a cassette, use record search
(p. 26) to find the point where you want to start
recording.
• Do not leave the cassette in the camera after
use — return it to its case and store it in a cool,
clean, dry place.
• The holes in the back of the cassette are used for
transferring information — do not cover them.
