Date Search
The date search function memorizes the start and end positions of recordings you made on a specific day so you

Note: Be sure that the date and time are set.

2. Press the CAM MENU button and specify SEARCH for the menu item on DISPLAY. See "Camera Menu
Features" on page 40 for how to set this option.
3. Press the CAM MENU button. SEARCH appears in place of the time counter.
4. Press the rewind button to search for the start position from which you last made a recording or the fast
forward button to recording end position.
5. When the required position is located, the camcorder enters the stop mode and "SEARCH" disappears from
the LCD monitor.
Note: If you have ejected the cassette, this function will not operate with that cassette. (When a cassette is
inserted and the recording is started, the position is identified as the recording start position on that day.)
Note: When the cassette was recorded by another camcorder, the date search function does not operate.
Note: The date search function is released when you press the stop button during date search mode.
Note: If the recorded time is less than 30 seconds, the date search function may not operate normally.
