[REC MODE]:
Select the video recording mode.
• Recording in LP mode extends the available recording time on the tape 1.5 times.
• Depending on the condition of the tape (long usage, imperfections, etc.) you may notice
some video anomalies (blocky video artifacts, banding, etc.) in the playback picture
when playing back recordings made in LP mode. We recommend using the SP mode for
important recordings.
• Audio cannot be dubbed on tapes recorded in LP mode.
• If you make recordings in both SP and LP modes on the same tape, during playback you
may notice some video anomalies in the picture at the point where the recording mode
changes.
• When playing back in this camcorder tapes recorded in LP mode with other devices or
vice versa, you may notice some anomalies in the playback picture or the sound may
stop briefly.
