You should already have performed the necessary preparations (

pgs. 8 – 19). Set the Select Dial to
“AUTO” and try recording that way before attempting to use more advanced features.

Align its mark with “STANDBY”.
2 TURN ON POWER
Set the Power Dial to “REC”. The power lamp
comes on and RECORD/STANDBY mode is
engaged.
•If you don’t pull out the viewfinder, the
power cannot be turned on.
3 SELECT OPERATION MODE
Set the Select Dial to “AUTO”.
•In the “AUTO” mode, only Zoom (20x),
Snapshot, 5S (if you change the setting in the

5 END RECORDING
When you’re finished recording, press
RECORDING START/STOP. Align the
viewfinder’s mark with “CAMERA OFF”; the
power lamp goes out and the lens cover closes
automatically.
• When transporting, make sure the viewfinder is in
this position.
• Before turning the power on again, you must pull
out the viewfinder.
NOTES:
● If 5 minutes elapse in the RECORD/STANDBY mode, the
power shuts off automatically to conserve energy. To turn
the camcorder on again, set the Power Dial to “OFF”,
then to “REC”. As long as you don’t take out the tape you
were using or play it back, you can continue recording
from where you left off with no noticeable break.
● RECORD/STANDBY means that a tape is loaded and the
camcorder is ready to record.
● If RECORD/STANDBY (Pause) is engaged for 5 minutes,
the Stop mode is automatically activated to protect the
heads.
● If you start a recording on a blank portion of the tape, or
onto a brand new tape, recording starts approximately
3-4 seconds after you press RECORDING START/STOP.
In order to record the entire scene or sequence, make
sure to start recording slightly in advance
