NOTES:
●
When the Power Switch is set to CAMERA and the LCD monitor is opened at an angle of 60 degrees or more,
the LCD monitor switches on and the viewfinder switches off automatically to save power (GR-SXM460A/
SXM260A/SXM46EA/SXM26EA only).
●
The cassette holder cannot be opened unless a power supply is attached.
●
There may be a delay after you slide
EJECT
until the cassette holder opens. Do not use force.
●
The time required to calculate the remaining tape length, and the accuracy of the calculation, may vary
according to the type of tape used.
●
The tape remaining time indicator is correct only if the correct tape length has been selected (
墌
pg. 10).
●
“TAPE END” appears when the tape reaches its end, and the power goes off automatically if left in this
condition for 5 minutes. “TAPE END” also appears when a cassette whose tape is already at its end is loaded.
●
If the Record-Standby mode continues for 5 minutes without performing Zoom or any other operations, the
camcorder’s power shuts off automatically. Set the Power Switch to “OFF”, and then back to “CAMERA” to
turn the camcorder on again.
●
If the Recording Start/Stop button is pressed after the Record-Standby mode has continued for over
5 minutes, recording may not start immediately.
●
If you are recording on a cassette from the middle (such as when a tape is removed and re-inserted during
recording), use the Retake function (
墌
pg. 19) to find the end of the last recording so you do not erase any of it.
●
While shooting, sound is not heard from the speaker (GR-SXM460A/SXM260A/SXM46EA/SXM26EA only).
Self-Recording
JOURNALISTIC SHOOTING (GR-SXM460A/
SXM260A/SXM46EA/SXM26EA only)
In some situations, different shooting angles may provide
more dramatic results. Hold the camcorder in the desired
position and tilt the LCD monitor in the most convenient
direction. It can rotate 270° (90° downward, 180° upward).
INTERFACE SHOOTING (GR-SXM460A/
SXM260A/SXM46EA/SXM26EA only)
The person you shoot can view himself/herself in the LCD
monitor, and you can even shoot yourself while viewing
your own image in the LCD monitor.
Open the LCD monitor and tilt it upward to 180 degrees
so that it faces forward. When the LCD monitor is tilted
upward to an angle of over approx. 105 degrees, the
monitor image is inverted vertically, and the viewfinder
also switches on.
Point the lens toward the subject (yourself when self-
recording) and start recording.
During Interface Shooting, the monitor image and
indications do not appear inverted as they would when
viewing a mirror.
NOTE:
The monitored image can be viewed on the LCD monitor
and in the viewfinder.
LCD MONITOR*/VIEWFINDER INDICATIONS
Press
DISPLAY
for more than 1 second to make the
following indications appear/disappear from the
camcorder’s display: cassette warning, tape remaining
time, battery pack remaining power indicator and tape
length indicator (
墌
pg. 56, 57).
NOTE:
Even if the indications are off, the tape remaining time
appears blinking when the tape is near its end, and the
battery pack remaining power indicator appears blinking
when the power is almost gone.
