Note on the Focus Range

If you cannot get a sharp focus

while in extreme telephoto

zoom, press the "W" side of

the power zoom button until

the focus is sharp. You can

shoot a subject that is at least

about 31/4 feet (1 m) away

from the lens surface in the

telephoto position, or about 1/

2 inches (1 cm) in the wide-

angle position.

Place the Camcorder on a

Flat Surface or Use a

Tripod

Keep the camcorder fixed by

placing it on a table top or any

other flat surface of suitable

height. If you have a tripcxi

for a still camera, you can also

use it with the camcorder.

Make sure the tripod screw is

shorter than 9/32 in. {6.5 mm).

To Shoot in the Dark

We recommend that you use

an optional video light. To get

the best color, you must

maintain a sufficient light

level.

To Record from the

Beginning of the Tape

Run the tape for about 15

st'conds before recording. This

prevents the camcorder from

missing any start-up scenes

when you play back the tape.

To Prevent Accidental

Erasure

Slide the tab on the cassette to

expose the red mark.

If you try to record with the

red mark exposed, the caution

lamp flashes on the

viewfinder, and you cannot

record.

To re-record on this tape, slide

the tab back out so it covers

the red mark.

For Smooth Transition

To obtain smooth transition

bcbx'cen scenes after the

battery pack is replaced, leave

the tape in the camcorder.

Using the Viewfinder as a

Sports Finder - For model
