Journalistic Shooting In some situations, different shooting angles may provide more dramatic results. Hold the camcorder in the desired position and tilt the LCD monitor in the most convenient direction. It can rotate 270° (90° downward, 180° upward). Self Recording Open the LCD monitor and tilt it upward to 180° so that it faces forward, then point the lens toward yourself and start recording. VIDEO RECORDING EN 13 Recording From The Middle Of A Tape 1) Play back a tape or use Blank Search (੬ pg. 14) to find the spot at which you want to start recording, then engage the Still Playback mode. (੬ pg. 14) 2) Set the Power Switch to "A" or "M" while pressing down the Lock Button located on the switch, then start recording. NOTES: ● The time code cannot be reset. ● During fast-forwarding and rewinding, the time code indication does not move smoothly. ● The time code is displayed only when "TIME CODE" is set to "ON". (੬ pg. 27) When a blank portion is recorded on a tape Self Recording Time code 00:00:00 Time code Time code 05:43:21 00:00:00 VIDEO RECORDING & PLAYBACK Time Code During recording, a time code is recorded on the tape. This code is to confirm the location of the recorded scene on the tape during playback.

If recording starts from a blank portion, the time code begins counting from "00:00:00" (minute:second:frame). If recording starts from the end of a previously recorded scene, the time code continues from the last time code number. If during recording a blank portion is left partway through the tape, the time code is interrupted. When recording is resumed, the time code starts counting up again from "00:00:00". This means the camcorder may record the same time codes as those existing in a previously recorded scene. To prevent this, perform "Recording From The Middle Of A Tape" (See the right column) in the following cases; ● When shooting again after playing back a recorded tape. ● When power shuts off during shooting. ● When a tape is removed and re-inserted during shooting. ● When shooting using a partially recorded tape. ● When shooting on a blank portion located partway through the tape. ● When shooting again after shooting a scene then opening/ closing the cassette holder cover.
