The tape's remaining time is displayed in the viewfinder as shown.
The indicated remaining time is approximate.
The time required to calculate the remaining tape length, and the accuracy of the calculation, may vary
according to the type of tape used.
The tape remaining time displayed in the viewfinder is correct only if the correct tape length has been selected
(
pg. 8).
When using a 60–minute tape, the tape remaining time displayd will not be accurate.
