the Basics

You can record and play back a tape in SP (standard play) and LP (long play)
modes. LP extends tape usage by 1.5 times.

• When recording and playing back tapes in LP mode, the nature of the tape and

usage conditions may affect recording, mosaic-like noise may appear in the
image and the sound may be distorted during playback. For important
recordings, therefore, set the camera to SP mode.

• If you record in both modes on the same tape, the picture may become distorted

during playback and the time code may not be written correctly.

• A tape recorded in LP mode on other digital equipment may produce mosaic-

like noise and the sound may become distorted when played back on this
camcorder, and vice versa.

You can’t add sound (audio dubbing) or images (A/V insert) to a tape that has
been recorded in LP mode. If you plan to use either of these functions later,
record in SP mode.

16:9 (Widescreen TV recording)

Produces images in the 16:9 format for
playback on widescreen TVs.

To switch 16:9 to ON, open the menu and select CAM.SET UP. Then select
16:9, set it to ON and close the menu.

• “16:9” is shown in the display when you switch the 16:9 mode on.
• You cannot use the 16:9 mode with the Easy Recording program.
• You cannot use the 16:9 mode when the multi-image screen is set. The 16:9

display becomes set to “– – –”.

• If you play back a recording made for 16:9 on a normal TV screen, the image

will appear to be vertically “squashed” (compressed).

• If you connect the camera to a TV with an S1 terminal or the Video ID-1

system, recordings made in the 16:9 mode for wide screen TVs will
automatically play back in wide screen mode on the TV screen.
