Others Please use the Manual Focus Mode instead. 1) Recording a subject whose one end is located closer to the Palmcorder and the other end farther away from it ≥Because Auto Focus makes adjustments at the center of an image, it may be impossible to focus on a subject that is located in both foreground and background. 2) Recording a subject behind dirty or dusty glass ≥Because the focus is on the dirty glass, the subject behind the glass will not be focused. 3) Recording a subject in dark surroundings ≥Because the light information that comes through the lens decreases considerably, the Palmcorder cannot focus correctly. 4) Recording a subject that is surrounded by objects with glossy surfaces or by highly reflective objects ≥Because the Palmcorder focuses on the objects with glossy surfaces or on highly reflective objects, the subject may become blurry. 5) Recording a fast-moving subject ≥Because the focus lens-inside moves mechanically, it cannot keep up with the fast-moving subject. 6) Recording a subject with little contrast ≥Because the Palmcorder achieves focus based upon the vertical lines of an image, a subject with little contrast, such as a white wall, may become blurry. ª Time Code Time Code signals are data that indicate time measured in hours, minutes, seconds, and frames (30 frames per second). If this data is included in a recording, an address is assigned to each image on the tape. ≥The Time Code is automatically recorded as a part of the sub-code at each recording. ≥When a new (previously unrecorded) Cassette is inserted, the Time Code automatically starts from zero. If a recorded Cassette is inserted, the Time Code picks up from the point where the last scene was recorded. (In this case, when the Cassette is inserted, the zero display [0h00m00s00f] may appear, but the Time Code starts from the previous value.) ≥The Time Code cannot be reset to zero. ≥Unless the Time Code is continuously recorded from the beginning of a tape, accurate editing may not be possible. To ensure that the Time Code will be recorded with no breaks, we recommend the use of the Blank Search Function (-26-) before recording a new scene. ª Memory Stop Function The Memory Stop Function is useful for the following operations. Rewinding or fast-forwarding a tape to a desired position 1 Set [DISPLAY] >> [C.DISPLAY] >> [MEMORY]. 2 Reset the Tape Counter to zero at the tape position from which you want to play it back later. (-14-, -21-) 3 Start playback or recording. 4 After playback or recording has finished: Set the Palmcorder to Tape Playback Mode. 5 Rewind the tape. ≥The tape automatically stops approximately at the position where the counter was set to zero. Stopping editing automatically during audio dubbing 1 Set [DISPLAY] >> [C.DISPLAY] >> [MEMORY]. 2 Reset the Tape Counter to zero at the position where you want to stop editing. 3 Play back the still picture where you want to start audio dubbing. 4 Start audio dubbing. (-46-) ≥Audio dubbing automatically stops at the position where the counter was set to zero. -75-
