Flying Erase Head
ProEdit ® System
The camcorder incorporates a complete package of advanced editing features
to make it easy and fun to edit your home videos like a professional. The
major ProEdit
® System features are described here and on the following pages.
• Flying Erase Head
• Edit Search
• Titler
A separate erase head is mounted on the spinning
headwheel (hence the term “flying”). The flying
erase head allows you to make clean edits without
“glitches” or “rainbow noise”.
The edit-search feature allows you to edit as you
make your recording by using F.FWD, REW, and
PLAY to precisely position the tape while the
camcorder is in record pause.
• Press and hold REW (rewind) to visually search
the recorded tape in reverse.
• Press and hold F.FWD (fast forward) to visually
search forward on the recorded tape.
• Press and hold PLAY to view the recorded tape at
normal speed.
When you release the button, the camcorder will
return to record pause at that point on the tape.
