Canon 40MC Elura Instruction Manual - Page 67

The Dubbing Function You can add special effects to pre- recorded scenes as well as add varied E scene transitions to the beginning and end of scenes while recording onto another tape. The ELURA dubs the scenes onto a tape in your VCR or another camcorder, adding your selected effect. Also, you can add audio to a tape (audio dubbing, p. 82) or both audio and visual (A/V insert, p. 80). You can adjust the starting and ending points of the scene (the "cut-in" and "cut-out" points, p. 73). In addition, the ELURA can record from a VCR, TV or analog camcorder (analog line-in, p. 78). If you connect another Canon digital video camcorder to the camera instead of a VCR, you can use the Dubbing Function for digital-to-digital dubbing, with virtually no generation loss in image and sound quality. However, you cannot add digital effects or set the cut-in and cut-out adjustments using the built-in digital timer (p. 74). Editing Preparing for Dubbing 1. Connect the camera to the VCR. • See the "Connections for Playback on a TV Screen" instructions on page 25. 2. Turn the TV on. • Be sure to set it to the video channel, or set the TV/Video selector to Video. 3. Turn on the VCR and load a blank cassette. • See your VCR instruction manual. 4. Open the VCR menu and select \DUB MODE. • When you select the DUB MODE menu all the displayed information is also displayed on the screen of the TV connected your VCR. However, this information will not be recorded onto the tape in the VCR. 67
