SIGNAL
RECORDING
Each time you begin recording (after the Camera/
Recorder has been turned off at least four hours), the
Camera/Recorder
will automatically
record an index
mark at the beginning of the new recording.
Later, when you play back the indexed tape in a VCR
that has a compatible indexing feature called "VHS
Index Search System",
the invisible marks can be
located automatically.
See your VCR's owner's manual
for index playback instructions.
The word "INDEX"
will appear briefly in the viewfinder
to let you know the Camera/Recorder
is recording an
index mark.
NOTES:
• The Camera/Recorder
automatically
records an
index mark only once--at
the start of each day's
recording session (or whenever it hasn't been used
for more than four hours).
•
It does not automatically
record index marks each
time you stop and start recording-only
the first time
