Note:
● The unit enters stop mode at tape-end automatically, and if kept longer than 3 minutes or 30 minutes in this mode, SAVE
mode is maintained.
● If the VTR trigger button is pushed very quickly and repeatedly, or the POWER switch is moved immediately after being
pressed, the viewfinder REC indicator lamp may blink and the GY-DV700W may not enter the record mode. To remedy
this condition set the POWER switch to OFF and wait for 5 seconds or more before turning the power on again.
● A neat transition to the next recorded scene cannot be guaranteed if you end a recording by turning the POWER switch
or DC power supply OFF, or by removing the battery pack.
● Before recording a scene that is particularly important, perform test shooting to ensure that normal recording is possible.
● The power consumption can be reduced by setting the LIGHT switch on the display and TALLY lamp to OFF.
● The microphone may pick up the sound of the lens' iris if the iris is changed abruptly or the iris is manually moved abruptly
during recording. If you find the noise annoying, please purchase an optional microphone in order to move the microphone
away from the lens or ensure that the iris is not changed abruptly during shooting.

7. SHOOTING OPERATION
8.
Press the VTR trigger button on the GY-DV700W or lens to
start recording.
Once recording has started, the BACK TALLY lamp on the
rear section of the unit and the tally lamp on the viewfinder
light red, and the REC indication in the viewfinder lights
green.
Note:
* The lightning conditions of the BACK TALLY lamp on
the rear section of the unit can be changed by setting
the VCR Setup Menu item No. 082 BACK TALLY
MODE.
* The lamp in the viewfinder and on the front section will
blink from when the button is pressed and until
recording actually starts.
9.
To stop recording, press the VTR trigger button again. The
TALLY lamp and REC indicator lamp go out and the unit
enters the record-pause mode.
When the VTR trigger button is pressed, the unit enters the
record-pause mode after rewinding the tape for about 2
seconds (back-spacing).
10.
To restart recording:
Press the VTR trigger button on the GY-DV700W or lens.
11.
Ending recording:
Enter record-pause mode and perform the following
operations as required.
When it is required to unload the videocassette:
• Slide the EJECT switch.
When it is required to put the unit in save mode:
• Set the VTR switch to SAVE.
Drum rotation stops and the GY-DV700W enters the
tape protection/power-saving mode.
12.
When shooting is completely finished, eject the cassette
and set the POWER switch to "OFF".
When the unit is not going to be used for a long period,
detach the battery pack.
About the QUICK REC START Mode
If the VTR trigger button is pressed immediately after the
videocassette is inserted, the mode becomes the QUICK
REC START mode that enables quick start of recording.
However, when shooting starts in the middle of the tape, a
blank space appears as the new scene will not be linked
smoothly with the previous image.
Also, the time code does not continue. (Some overlap may
also occur.)
