Recording a picture
Note on the recording mode Your camcorder records and plays back in SP (standard play) mode and in LP (long play) mode. Select SP or LP in the menu settings. In LP mode, you can record 1.5 times as long as in SP mode. When you record a tape on your camcorder in LP mode, we recommend playing the tape on your camcorder. Note on the LOCK switch When you slide the LOCK switch to the left, the POWER switch can no longer be set to MEMORY accidentally. The LOCK switch is set to the right as a default setting. We recommend that you set the LOCK switch to the left when you record on a mini DV cassette. Note on the progressive mode If you intend to use the images on your PC or play the images back as still images, we recommend that you set PROG. SCAN to ON in the menu settings before shooting (p. 34). The picture quality may improve in this mode, but if you shoot a moving subject, the image may shake when it is played back. 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. 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. 25). However, check the following: �When you change the battery pack, set the POWER switch to OFF (CHG). �Do not mix recordings in the SP mode and ones in the LP mode on one tape. Note on tape transition The playback picture may be distorted or the time code may not be written properly between scenes when: �You change the recording mode (SP/LP). �You record in LP mode. If you leave your camcorder in standby mode for five minutes while the cassette is inserted Your camcorder automatically turns off. This is to prevent tape wear and save battery power. To resume the standby mode, set the POWER switch to OFF (CHG), and to CAMERA again. When a cassette is not inserted, your camcorder does not turn off.
