Canon E800 - Manual (Page 35)

Tape Counter
During recording, the tape counter in the viewfinder indicates how long you
have recorded.
You have recorded for approx. 35 minutes and 40 seconds (in SP mode).
• The tape counter also appears during playback and record search, so you
can use it to verify how long the tape has run.
• Tape counter time and actual recording length may be slightly different.
Use the tape counter only as an approximate guide.
• When recording in LP mode, actual recording length is approximately
twice the tape counter time.
Recording Reminder
When you start to record, the camera counts off the first 10 seconds of your
recording and displays 0 SEC through 10 SEC in the viewfinder. This
function is designed to help you make sure your scenes aren’t too short, for
easy viewing and editing.
Try to record for at least the full 10 seconds.
• Recording reminder time and actual recording length may be slightly
different. Use recording reminder only as an approximate guide.
Video Cassette Warning
• “T.END” appears in viewfinder when tape is completely used up.
