NOTES:

When the source tape has more than 2 identical time codes (

Z

 pg. 22), the camcorder may not find the

Edit-In point you chose and a malfunction may occur.

When choosing a scene, set Edit-In and Edit-Out points so that there is a relatively large difference between
them.

If the search time for an in-point exceeds 5 minutes, the recording deck’s Record-Standby mode will be
cancelled and editing will not take place.

If there are blank portions before or after the Edit-In and Edit-Out points, a blue-backed screen may be
included in the edited version.

Since time codes register time only as accurately as seconds, the time code total time may not match the
total program time exactly.

Turning off the camcorder’s power erases all registered  Edit-In and Edit-Out points.

If you select Sepia or Monotone mode from Program AE with special effects, you cannot use the Dissolve or
Black & White Fader. In this case the Dissolve or Black & White indicator begins blinking. Once the next
Edit-In point is registered, the effect is turned off. To combine these effects, use Sepia or Monotone during
recording, then use Dissolve or Black & White Fader during Random Assemble Editing.
