Use video cassettes with the
ED
mark.
Loading and unloading
Cassettes can be loaded and unloaded with the
camera turned off, as long as a power source is
attached.
1. Slide the EJECT switch 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
(push)
mark on the
compartment until it clicks, and wait for
it to close.
• Never push down the top of the compartment.
Preventing accidental erasure
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, TAPE will flash in the
viewfinder if you set the program selector to a
CAMERA setting.
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.
• Do not interfere with the compartment while it is
opening or closing automatically.
• After loading a cassette, use record search
(p, 24) 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.
