Recording – Recording Review
If you press the RET button on the lens while recording is paused, the
last three seconds of the tape is automatically rewound, and that segment
is played back on the viewfinder screen. Use this function to check
whether recording went smoothly. If you hold the RET button down
longer, at most 10 seconds of the tape is rewound and played back. After
playback, the camcorder is ready to start recording again.
Note
The recording review functions only works if the recording you have
made is at least 3 seconds long.
