Recording a picture Note on the LOCK switch (DCR-TRV17 only) When you slide the LOCK switch to the right, the POWER switch can no longer be set to MEMORY accidentally. LOCK switch is set to the left before your camcorder leaves the factory. To enable smooth transition Transition between the last scene you recorded and the next scene is smooth as long as you do not eject the cassette even if you turn off your camcorder. However, check the following: • Do not mix recordings in the SP mode and ones in the LP mode on one tape. • When you change the battery pack, set the POWER switch to OFF (CHG). • When you use a tape with cassette memory, however, you can make the transition smooth even after ejecting the cassette if you use the END SEARCH function (p. 30). If you leave your camcorder in the standby mode for five minutes while the cassette is inserted Your camcorder automatically turns off. This is to save battery power and to prevent battery and tape wear. To resume the standby mode, set the POWER switch to OFF (CHG), and to CAMERA again. When you record in the SP and LP modes on one tape or you record some scenes in the LP mode The playback picture may be distorted or the time code may not be written properly between scenes. Recording data The recording date (date/time or various settings when recorded) are not displayed while recording. However, they are recorded automatically onto tape. To display the recording date and time, press DATA CODE on the Remote Commander during playback.

If you turn the LCD panel over so that it faces the other way, the indicator appears on the LCD screen and in the viewfinder (Mirror mode). 180° 90° When closing the LCD panel, set it vertically until it clicks, and swing it into the camcorder body.
