This automatically adjusts the white balance as 
follows, depending on the setting of the FILTER knob.
B: 3200K
C: 4300K
D: 6300K

For details, see “4-1-2 Adjusting the White Balance” 
on page 54.

Aim the camera at the subject and adjust the focus and 
zoom.

If necessary, set the electronic shutter for an 
appropriate mode and speed.

For details, see “4-2 Setting the Electronic Shutter” on 
page 56.

To start recording, press the VTR START button or the 
VTR button on the lens.

If the recording start/stop function is assigned to the 
ASSIGN 1 switch, this switch functions as VTR 
START button.

For details, see “5-3-5 Assigning Functions to 
Assignable Switches” on page 87.

During recording, the REC indicator lights in the 
viewfinder. Perform zooming and focus control, if 
necessary.

To stop recording, press the VTR START button or the 
VTR button on the lens again.

The REC indicator in the viewfinder goes off.

Cassette control buttons
During recording, the cassette control buttons (EJECT, 
REW, F FWD, PLAY, STOP) have no effect.

When crash-recording without doing continuous recording 
on a recorded tape, or when recording with the RE-TAKE 
function, the timecode recorded previously may be 
displayed for a few seconds when playing back the first 
part of the cut.

If the camcorder is in the recording pause mode, simply 
pressing the VTR START button on the camcorder or the 
VTR button on the lens continues recording exactly from 
the next frame.
In other cases, you first need to position the tape at an 
appropriate point.

Pressing the VTR START button on the camcorder or the 
VTR button on the lens continues recording at exactly the 
next frame. However, the time taken before recording 
starts depends on the setting of the VTR SAVE/STBY 
switch.
• If the VTR SAVE/STBY switch is in the SAVE position, 

it takes about 4 seconds before recording starts.

• If the VTR SAVE/STBY switch is in the STBY position, 

recording starts immediately. However, just after the 
switch position is changed from SAVE to STBY, it takes 
about 4 seconds before recording starts.

Turn on the power again.

Press the RET button on the lens. 

If an analog composite signal is input to the 
GENLOCK IN connector, make sure that RETURN 
VIDEO is set to OFF on the GENLOCK page of the 
MAINTENANCE menu.

The camcorder positions the tape at the appropriate 
point. Note, however, that this function works only for 
continuously recorded material or consecutively 
joined segments totaling at least 3 seconds in length.

Press the VTR START button on the camcorder or the 
VTR button on the lens to start recording.
