TITLE
You can write your own titles and store them in the
camera’s memory in order to add them to your
recordings. Remember to install the backup battery
first (see p. 10).

The title stored in the memory is displayed in the
viewfinder when you press the TITLE button. If you
start recording now, it will be superimposed on the
scene.
Press the button again to cancel the display. If it
does not appear in the viewfinder, it will not be
recorded.
Writing a title
These lines appear in the
viewfinder while you are writing a
title.
Enter your title in the camera’s memory before you
start recording. The title can be one or two lines of
up to 16 characters each.
1. Turn the program selector to a
recording program and open the
STANDBY cover.
2. Press and hold the TITLE button until
the title lines appear in the viewfinder.
• If you have already entered a title in the
memory, it will be displayed in the viewfinder.
• The first dot (or character) flashes to show
where the cursor (the insertion point) is
located.
3. Press the FlexiZone controller sideways
to move the cursor to the point where
you want to start the title.
• Press once to move the cursor one space at a
time. Press and hold to move it quickly.
4. Press the FlexiZone controller up or
down to scan the list of title characters.
• Press once to scan one at a time. Press and
hold to scan quickly.
• You can choose from the following characters:
r-^ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ^—i
^ 987654321 O^EQN/EA0U6A<H
• If you choose the flashing dot $, nothing will
be recorded at this position.
• You can erase all the characters at and to the
right of the cursor by pressing and holding the
COUNTER RESET button for more than one
second.
5. When the character you want is
displayed, press the FlexiZone
controller sideways to move the cursor
to the point where you want to write the
next character.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until your title is
complete, then press the TITLE button
to enter the title in the memory.
Note:
• If it takes you more than about five minutes to
write a title, the camera may turn itself off
automatically before you finish. This can be
avoided by removing the cassette before you
begin.
