REVIEW
Button
Quick Review helps you recall the
last scene you recorded on a tape
and lets you set up the next scene.
After quick review playback, the
camcorder returns to the Record/
Pause mode.
Most importantly, Quick Review
returns the tape to its previous
point after reviewing a scene. As a
result, you can use this feature and
then start recording again without
creating a “gap” or picture break­
up between taped segments.
