Confirming the Remaining Tape
Time
During recording and playback, the Remaining Tape
Time Indication @ is automatically displayed, so you
always know how much time you have left on the
cassette. However, to ensure correct display of the
remaining tape time, the tape length of the cassette
being used must be set correctly on the Movie Camera.
(> 21)
When recording or playback starts, the Tape Length
Indication disappears, and in its place the [R]
Indication flashes while the remaining tape time is
being calculated. A few seconds later, the Remaining
Tape Time Indication appears. ({R] means Remaining.)
When the remaining tape time is less than 2 minutes,
the {R] Indication and the Remaining Tape Time
Indication start to flash.
When you use a cassette bearing the [P] mark @ or
other special types of cassettes, the Tape Counter
Indication may not be very precise.
@ Preventing Accidental Erasure of
Recordings
*Recording on a previously recorded cassette erases
the existing scenes and sound.
®To protect important recordings against accidental
erasure, use a screwdriver to break off the tab @ on
the cassette (some cassettes have sliding-type tabs).
®To be able to record again on a protected cassette,
firmly cover the hole where the tab was with two
layers of adhesive tape @.
