temperature for shooting. You can use this as an
ASSIGN (assignable) switch
(see page 204).
c ALARM (alarm tone volume
adjustment) knob
Controls the volume of the warning tone that is
output via the built-in speaker or optional
earphones. When the knob is turned to the
minimum position, no sound can be heard.
However, if the MIN ALARM VOL item on the
AUDIO-1 page of the MAINTENANCE menu is
set to SET, the alarm tone is audible even when
this volume control is at the minimum position.
d MONITOR (monitor volume
adjustment) knob
Controls the volume of the sound other than the
warning tone that is output via the built-in speaker
or optional earphones. When the knob is turned to
the minimum position, no sound can be heard.

you can select audio that you want to hear through
the built-in speaker or optional earphones.

f VDR SAVE/STBY (VDR save/standby)
switch
Switches the status of the power supply to the
video disc drive (referred to as “VDR”) while
recording is stopped (STOP) or paused (REC

lower than when the camcorder is in STBY
mode. Battery life is extended.

when the REC START button is pressed.
Note
An internal operating sound may be recorded at the start
of recording when the VDR SAVE/STBY switch is set to
SAVE.
g GAIN selector
Switches the gain of the video amplifier to match
the lighting conditions during shooting. The gains
corresponding to the L, M, and H settings can be
selected in the menu. (The factory settings are
L=0 dB, M=6 dB, and H=12 dB.)
When this switch is adjusted, the new setting
appears on the setting change/adjustment

screen for about three seconds.
