The Auto Editing Function
Using the Auto Editing Function is simple. Just watch your original tape and press
the set button at the beginning and the end of each scene you want to record. This
creates an editing program. Start the program, and the camcorder automatically
records the scenes you selected onto the tape in your VCR. Before you record, you
can preview everything (p. 65), and even delete (p. 69) or re-order scenes (p. 70).
• If you connect another Canon digital video camcorder to the camera instead of a
VCR, you can use the Auto Editing Function for digital-to-digital editing, with
virtually no generation loss in image and sound quality. However, you cannot
set the cut-in and cut-out adjustments using the built-in digital timer (p. 67).
