SHOOTING OPERATION When a recordable videocassette is loaded, the GY-DV550 enters the record-pause mode. However, the record-pause operation condition differs depending on the setting of the VTR switch. ● VTR switch setting STBY : The GY-DV550 enters the record-pause mode, and the drum is rotating at this time. (Standby mode) The "STBY" indicator appears in the VCR operation status display in the viewfinder (in Status 1 mode). • In this condition, recording starts immediately when the VTR trigger button is pressed. SAVE : The GY-DV550 enters the record-pause mode but the drum is not rotating. (Save mode). The tape is protected. The "SAVE" indicator appears in the viewfinder (in Status 1 mode).

Recording from the Save mode ● In the save mode, pressing the VTR trigger button will start recording. However, in this case, it takes several seconds before the GY-DV550 starts recording. ● Pressing the VTR trigger button again interrupts the recording and the GY-DV550 enters the save mode again. 7-3 If Unit is Left in Record-Pause (Standby) Mode When the GY-DV550 has remained in record-pause (standby) mode for about 30 minutes, the unit enters the save mode, in which the drum rotation is stopped automatically and the tape tension is released. (Tape protect mode) To start recording from the tape protect mode, press the VTR trigger button; the drum starts to rotate and recording starts in about 3 seconds. To return to the record-pause mode from the tape protect mode, press the VTR trigger button TWICE; the drum starts to rotate. • The time until the unit enters the tape protect mode after it is placed in record-pause mode can be set to 3 minutes or 30 minutes with the VCR Setup Menu item No. 307 LONG PAUSE TIME.
