≥ A cassette that was recorded in the S-VHS or S-
VHS ET format can also be played back on other S-
VHS, S-VHS ET, or SQPB (S-VHS Quasi Playback)
video equipment. (However, with some equipment,
playback may not be possible. In that case, connect
this Movie Camera directly to the TV. (p. 34))
≥ If you want to record and play back with highest
possible picture quality or store the cassettes for a
long time, we recommend that you use S-VHS-C
cassettes and record in the S-VHS format.
≥ If you record in the S-VHS ET format, the picture
quality may not be very good with certain types of
cassettes. To avoid negative surprises, we
recommend that you make a trial recording and
confirm that the quality of the recorded picture is
satisfactory.
(To ensure optimum picture quality, we recommend
the use of HG (high-grade) type cassettes.)
Remarks, etc.
≥If you leave the Movie Camera in the Recording
Pause Mode for more than 6 minutes, it
automatically switches off to protect the tape
and to conserve battery power. To resume
recording from this condition, set the [CAMERA/
OFF/VCR] Switch to [OFF] and then to
[CAMERA] again.
≥During recording, the Programme AE Function
(p. 42) is locked. Therefore, even if you accidentally
press the [PROG. AE] Button during Recording, the
Programme AE Mode does not change.
≥Due to limitations in production technology, there
may be some tiny bright or dark spots on the LCD,
however, these are not recorded on the tape.
≥When recording in a dimly lit location, the picture
may become noisy and less sharp, so we
recommend that you use the IR/Video DC Light
(optional), etc. to brighten up the scene.
≥If you use an E55 type cassette for recording, the
picture may contain some distortion when you play
it back. However, this is not a malfunction of the
Movie Camera.
