Camcorder Features
Electronic Indexing
Each time you begin recording (after the camcorder has been turned off for at least
four hours), the camcorder will automatically record an index mark at the beginning of
the new recording.
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 owner’s manual for index playback instructions.
Time Remaining Display
