Using the Menu
To activate the set-up menu, press the
function
button and move down to the bottom icon with
the
joystick
(See "Playback" section on page 8 for the location of these). Press the joystick as a
button to open the menu (pictured above). Use the joystick to move around the menu, pressing it
as a button to select an option.
We recommend setting the camera to the following:
Camera Setup - Widescreen -
Sets the video record mode between
Widescreen
(16:9) and
Standard
(4:3) aspect ratio. It is up to you which you record in, but keep this consistent so all
your footage is in the same ratio.
VCR Setup - Rec Mode -
Sets the record mode between
Standard Play
(SP) and
Long Play
(LP). Long Play will allow you to fit 50% more footage on a tape, but video and audio quality will be
significantly worse. It is only recommended that Long Play should be used if you need to
continuously record footage that you know will not fit on a 60 minute tape.
