Check operation to determine whether or not picture
quality is defective. If it is judged defective, the heads
are automatically cleaned. How this operation is
performed is determined by the setting of the [REC
CHECK] switch in the function menu.

– When set to "MANUAL":

Head cleaning is performed once and recording
resumes.

– When set "AUTO":

Head cleaning is performed once and recording is
resumed for several seconds.  Then, Recording
Check operation is performed again.
If picture quality is again judged defective, head
cleaning is performed once again and "E-09" is shown
on the display to indicate that there is a problem.
Recording will continue, however.
