shooting angles may provide
more dramatic results. Hold the

and tilt the LCD monitor in the
most convenient direction. It can
rotate 270 ° (90° downward, 180°
upward).

TimeCode
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.
Display
* Framesare not displayed during recording.
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 previouslyrecorded
scene, the time code continues from the last time code
number.
If during recording a blank portionis left partway through
the tape, the time code isinterrupted. 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 playingback a recorded tape.
• When powershuts off during shooting.
• When a tape is removed and re-inserted during shooting.
• When shooting using a partiallyrecorded tape.
• When shooting on a blank portion located partway through
the tape.
• When shooting again after shooting a scene then opening/
closing the cassette holdercover.
