Note
The recording time displayed when this switch is set to
TTL or DUR is obtained by counting the duration of
the internal reference signal input to the camcorder.
The value may not agree exactly with the value
derived from the time code values. Furthermore, the
value displayed may not be correct when another
manufacture’s VCR is connected to the camcorder.

UP indicator in the viewfinder also lights.
When finished shooting, return this switch to OFF
position. The “HYPER” indication disappears and the
GAIN UP indicator goes out.
