Editing
1. Connect the camcorder to the VCR.
• See “Connections for Playback on a TV Screen” on p. 33.
2. Prepare the TV and VCR.
• Turn on the TV and set the TV/VIDEO selector to VIDEO.
• Turn on the VCR, and set its input selector to LINE. Load a blank cassette,
and put the VCR in record pause mode.
• See your TV and VCR instruction manuals for details.
3. Turn the camcorder’s POWER switch to PLAY (VCR), and move
the camcorder’s TAPE/CARD switch to TAPE.
• Make sure the AV/headphone terminal is set to AV through the menu (
33).
If PHONES appears in the display, switch the terminal.
4. Load your recorded cassette.
Editing to a VCR
1. Find a point on your recorded cassette slightly before the section
you want to copy.
2. Start to play it back while you monitor the picture on the TV.
3. Start recording on the VCR as soon as the section you want to copy
appears on the screen.
4. Pause the VCR at the end of the section you want to copy, then stop
playback on the camcorder.
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 until your edited recording is complete.
Note:
• The quality of the edited tape will be slightly lower than that of the original.
By connecting the camcorder to a VCR, you can edit your recordings in order to
remove unwanted scenes — or combine different shots to create your own video
productions.
The
m
terminal allows you to connect the
camcorder to equipment. Some buttons on
editing equipment may operate differently
from those on the camcorder.
