Using Instant Review 
Use this feature to view the last few seconds of the tape you shot. 
1. Set the camera/recorder to record/pause mode and tap the REW/REVIEW button. 
The last few seconds of tape play back in reverse and then in normal playback mode. 
2. The camera plays back to the spot where you paused and returns to record/pause 
mode (standby). Press the Start/Stop button to resume recording. 
 
Using Quick Edit 
Use quick edit to search for the end of previously recorded material, find a particular 
spot on your tape, begin editing, or record new material. While the camera is in 
record/pause mode hold down the F.FWD, REW/REVIEW, or PLAY button and visually 
search the tape. Release the button and the camera/recorder stops the tape at the 
exact position you selected. 
 
Using Macro 
This function allows you to shoot subjects as close as 3/8 of an inch. Press and hold the 
power zoom control W. The camera focuses on the subject automatically. Check your 
lighting as it tends to be insufficient when filming close up.
