[] Notes:
Abnut all 3 extended recording modes
. When recording and playing back tapes in one of the extended recording
modes, the nature of the tape and usage conditions may affect recording,
mosaic-like noise may appear in the image and the sound may be distorted
during playback. For important recordings, therefore, set the camcorder to SP
mode.
. We recommend recording in SP mode when you plan to transfer images taken
with the camcorder to your PC.
. If you record in more than one mode on the same tape, the picture may become
distorted during playback and the time code may not be written correctly.
• A tape recorded in LP mode on other digital equipment may produce the
mosaic-like noise and the sound may become distorted when playing back on
this camcorder.
• A tape recorded in LP or []LP mode on this camcorder may produce the
mosaic-like noise and the sound may become distorted when playing back on
other digital equipment.
