The tally light lights when the camcorder
is recording.
Microphone
The microphone
picks up the sound
during a recording.
It is more sensitive
to
sounds coming
from the direction
the
lens is pointed.
Flying Erase Head
A separate
erase head is mounted
on
the spinning
headwheel
(hence the term
"flying").
This allows you to make clean
edits without
the "glitches"
or "rainbow
noise" that may occur at the beginning
or
the end of recordings.
Electronic
Indexing
An index mark is automatically
rccorded
at the beginning
of a recording
after the
date advances
and a cassette is inserted.
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 VCR owner's
manual.
INDEX
flashes
in the viewfinder
when an
index mark is recorded.

Note: No other function can be performed
during index recording.
