Slide the [

OPEN] Lever to the left and
simultaneously open the LCD Monitor in the
direction of the arrow approximately 90
x
.
Be sure to keep the LCD Monitor in its vertical
position, so that the Cassette Compartment
Cover, when it opens, does not hit the LCD
Monitor.
≥
If a cassette with broken out erasure prevention tab is
inserted, the [
Y
] Indication flashes.
≥
You will hear noise of tightening the tape when you insert the
cassette, and noise of rewinding the tape when you close the
cassette compartment. However, this is not a malfunction.
Confirming the Remaining Tape Time
During recording and playback, the Remaining Tape Time
Indication
4
is automatically displayed, so you always know
how much time you have left on the cassette. However, to
ensure correct display of the remaining tape time, the tape
length of the cassette being used must be set correctly on the
Movie Camera.
≥
If you start recording or playback, the [R] Indication flashes for
a few seconds, while the Movie Camera calculates the
remaining tape time.
≥
When recording or playback starts, the Tape Length Indication
disappears, and in its place the [R] Indication
4
flashes while
the remaining tape time is being calculated. A few seconds
later, the Remaining Tape Time Indication appears. ([R]
means Remaining.)
≥
When the remaining tape time is less than 2 minutes, the [R]
Indication and the Remaining Tape Time Indication start to
flash.
≥
This function is only meant as a guide. The Remaining Tape
Time Indication is subject to imprecision due to either user
error (such as incorrectly selected tape length) or stretching of
the tape.
≥
When you use a cassette bearing the [P] mark or other special
types of cassettes, the Remaining Tape Time Indication may
not be very precise.
