This function allows you to shoot subjects as close as 3/8 inches (1cm). 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. 

 

The date search function memorizes the start and end positions of recordings you made on a 
specific day so you can easily locate those positions later as long as the cassette is left in the 
camcorder. 

Note: Be sure that the date and time are set. 

1. Attach a power source and slide the CAM/OFF/VIDEO switch to VIDEO. 
2. Press the DATE/TITLE button (the DISPLAY button on the remote control) to display 
"SEARCH" in the viewfinder. 

 

3. Press the REW button to search for the start position from which you last made a recording or 
the F.F button (the F.FWD button on the remote control) to recording end position. 
4. When the required position is located, the camcorder enters the stop mode and "SEARCH" 
disappears from the viewfinder. 

 

Note: If you have ejected the cassette, this function will not operate with that cassette. (When 
a cassette is inserted and the recording is started, the position is identified as the recording 
start position on that day.) 
Note: If the date/title battery is not inserted, the date search function does not operate when
