Camera recording
Before you record one-time events, you may want to make a trial recording to make
sure that the camcorder is working correctly.
(1) Make sure that the power source is installed. (p. 8, 10)
(2) While pressing the small button on the POWER switch, slide it in the direction
of the arrow. The small button lights up green.
(3) Press START/STOP. The camcorder records for about 5 seconds and stops.
The tape counter disappears and five dots appear. The dots disappear at a rate
of one per second. The red lamps light up.
To extend the recording time in 5SEC mode, press START/STOP again before
all the dots disappear. Recording continues for about 5 seconds from the
moment you press START/STOP.

Adjust the LCD panel to the angle you want.
Note
To save battery power and prevent the battery and tape from wearing down, the power
turns off automatically if you do not operate the camcorder for 5 minutes while the
video cartridge is inserted and the power is on. To start recording, turn the power on
again and press START/STOP.
