A Anti-Ground-Recording (in the Recording
Mode):
The Anti-Ground recording function is
meant as a guide or Indication that
irregular recording has occurred. It is up to
the user to reposition the tape so as to
remove the undesired section of the
recording. The Movie Camera only
switches the unit to Recording Pause/
Power Save Mode, and when the user
begins to operate the unit again, the “CHK"
Indication appear in the top right hand
corner of the Viewfinder.
