Demonstration mode
Confirmation/Warning beeps
To see a demonstration of the camera’s main features, before loading the cassette,
go to the DEMO MODE option in the camera menu. Select the ON setting and
close the menu. The demo also starts automatically if the power has been on for
ten minutes without a cassette loaded into the cassette compartment. (You can
avoid this by turning the DEMO MODE to OFF through the camera menu.) To
cancel the demo mode once it has begun: push the menu button, turn off the
power, or load a cassette.
The camera’s short operation confirmation beeps are indicated by
`
in the
illustrations. One beep sounds when you turn the power on or when you begin
recording. Two beeps sound when you pause recording or when you fully open
the cassette compartment cover. A series of beeps also sound during the self-timer
countdown, right before the camera’s automatic shut-off and upon any unusual
condition of the camera. Beeps are not recorded on the tape. You can turn them
OFF through the menu.
