Other Camcorder Functions/Settings

Changing the Recording Mode (SP/LP)

When recording in Standard Definition (SD mode) only, you can choose between SP (standard play)
and LP (long play). LP extends the tape usage by 1.5 times.

To change to LP mode, open the menu and select [RECORDING SETUP]. Select [DV REC
MODE], set it to [LP] and close the menu.

Depending on the tape and its usage condition, the picture and sound recorded in LP mode
may be distorted. We recommend using the SP mode for important recordings.

If you record in both SP and LP modes on the same tape, the playback picture may become
distorted, and the time code may not be written correctly.

If you play back a tape that has been recorded in LP mode with another digital device on this
camcorder, or vice versa, the picture and sound may become distorted.

Changing the Display Language

The language used in the camcorder displays and menu items can be changed to German, Spanish,
French, Italian, Polish, Russian, simplified Chinese or Japanese.

To change the display language, open the menu and select [DISPLAY SETUP/

]. Select

[LANGUAGE

], select a language and close the menu.

If you have mistakenly changed the language, follow the

mark next to the menu item to change

the setting.

The displays

and

at the bottom of the screen refer to the names of buttons on the

camcorder and will not change regardless of the language selected.
