Using the Linear Time Counter 
The linear time counter displays the tape run in hours, minutes, and seconds, helping you to keep track of how 
long you've been filming or time you have left to film before running out of tape. 
Turn the camcorder on to display the linear time counter. The linear time counter keeps track from when you load 
a cassette into the camcorder and clears to 0:00:00 when the cassette is ejected. 
 
Remaining Tape 
The tape remaining display shows the remaining tape that can be used for recording and playback, using seven 
dashes. This feature is handy when recording since it lets you know how long you can record on the loaded tape. 
Insert a cassette into the camcorder and start recording or playback; 10 seconds later, the remaining tape will be 
displayed. When the cassette is ejected, the display will disappear. "
" is displayed for 10 seconds 
after the tape starts to run. 
 
Note: The tape remaining display appears 10 seconds after the tape starts to run. 
Note: When the remaining tape time becomes less than about three minutes, TAPE END flashes in the 
viewfinder. 
Setting the Date and Time 
Take the time to set the date and time now. The date and time can be recorded on your tapes to act as a handy 
reference when viewing them later. Use the following procedure to set up the display for the current date and 
time. 
Note: Be sure to insert the clock battery before setting the date and time. Although the date and time can be 
set without the clock battery inserted, they will disappear when the battery providing power to the camcorder 
is removed. 
Make sure that the current time is displayed correctly before you start filming.
