Playback

(checking what has been recorded)

When the PLAY/PAUSE button is pressed, the playback images can be viewed in black and white on the viewfinder screen. At the same

time, colour playback images can be monitored from the VIDEO OUT connector.

<Note>

When the PLAY/PAUSE button is used to start playback from STOP mode, audio output may be delayed behind video output. To check

both the audio and video output from the tape at the same time, start playback from STILL mode. Note that when the PLAY button is used to

change STILL (still picture) mode to PLAY, the playback screen may be disturbed for an instant, however this will not affect the recording.

Rec review

When recording is temporarily stopped and the RET button on the lens is pressed, the last two seconds of the recording on the tape is

automatically rewound, and the playback images for those seconds appear in the viewfinder. These functions makes it possible to check

whether the recording has been performed as intended.

After the images have been played back, the recording start standby status is restored.

If the RET button is held down, up to 10 seconds on the tape can be rewound and played back.

<Notes>

≥The rec review function cannot be used unless the recording is at least one second long.

≥During the rec review operation, the rec review images are output to not only the viewfinder but the video output connectors (VIDEO OUT

connector, S-VIDEO connector) as well. Bear in mind that the rec review images will be recorded on a backup VTR if a back VTR has

been connected and backup images are being recorded.

Other functions

Still-picture playback

When the PLAY button is pressed during playback, the PLAY lamp

flashes, the still-picture mode is established, and still pictures can

be played back.

If the PLAY button is pressed again, normal playback is resumed.

INTERVAL REC (intermittent

recording) function

This unit is capable of simple interval shooting (intermittent

recording). This function is very useful for shooting programmes

with nature themes and art programmes.

The INTERVAL REC function settings are selected on the sub-

menu VTR OPTION screen.

≥ INTERVAL REC:

This sets the INTERVAL REC function to ON, OFF or ONE

SHOT.

≥ REC TIME:

This sets the recording time (1 cut) for interval shooting.

≥ INTERVAL TIME:

This sets the rec pause time for interval shooting.

When the items above are set, the INTERVAL REC mode is

established, and "i" starts flashing in the viewfinder.

When the VTR START button is pressed, interval shooting starts,

and the flashing "i" changes to a lit "i REC."

When the first interval shooting is completed and the rec pause

mode is established, "i REC" which had remained lit now starts

flashing in the viewfinder.

When "I REC" is set, the POWER/WARNING LED flashes in green.

<Note>

To release the INTERVAL REC mode, press the VTR START

button during recording or press the STOP button during Rec

Pause. Until INTERVAL REC mode is fully released, no other

operations are possible.

Variable speed (FF/REW) playback

≥When the FF (fast forward) or REW (rewind) button is pressed

during playback, playback is performed at 4a normal speed in the

forward or reverse direction. When it is pressed again, playback

is performed at 8a normal speed in the forward or reverse

direction.

≥By pressing the button again, it is possible to switch playback from

4a to 8a normal speed or vice versa.

INDEX SEARCH mode

Index areas can be searched in this mode.

≥With the unit in the stop mode, press the REW or FF button while

holding down the mode check button.

≥During the INDEX SEARCH operation, a display such as "IND +

001" appears at the remaining tape display position in the

viewfinder. "+" indicates the forward direction and "–" denotes the

reverse direction while the number indicates how many times the

index areas are to be detected before the operation stops.

≥The index area is searched in the forward or reverse direction for

the number of times that corresponds to the number of times the

FF or REW button was pressed.

Example: Press the REW button 3 times.

>The third index area back from the stop area is

searched. (Viewfinder display: IND –003)

Press the FF button twice.

>The second index area ahead from the stop area is

searched. (Viewfinder display: IND +002)

≥To stop index search at any time, press the STOP button.

Operation stops at the tape position where the button was

pressed.

<Note>

The maximum INDEX SEARCH number is –127 in the reverse

direction and +128 in the forward direction.
