Changing the recording mode E Choose from 4 recording modes: SP (standard play), 1.5× SP, 2× SP or 3× SP. • Only SP and LP modes are available when the camcorder is set to CARD PLAY (VCR) mode. You can record and play back a tape in SP (standard play) and LP (long play) modes. LP extends tape usage by 1.5 times. Recording times (this example uses an 80-minute tape) Standard recording SP 80 min. LP 1.5× SP (120 min.) Extended recording SP 2× SP LP 3× SP (160 min.) (240 min.) - - In SP and LP modes, image data is compressed twice as much as in SP and LP modes when being recorded to a tape. You cant' add sound (audio dubbing) or images (AV insert) to a tape that has been recorded in a mode other than SP mode. If you plan to use either of these functions later, record in SP mode.

Notes: About all 3 extended recording modes • When recording and playing back tapes in one of the extended recording modes, the nature of the tape and usage conditions may affect recording, mosaic-like noise may appear in the image and the sound may be distorted during playback. For important recordings, therefore, set the camcorder to SP mode. • We recommend recording in SP mode when you plan to transfer images taken with the camcorder to your PC. 22
