Playback—Checking Recorded Contents

Pressing the PLAY button allows black-and-white playback images to be viewed on the view-

finder. Playback images can also be viewed in two other ways.

¡

Rec review: If the RET VIDEO switch is set to the INT side, black-and-white images of the last

2 seconds of the recorded contents can be seen on the viewfinder.

¡

Colour playback: Connecting a colour monitor to the unit’s VIDEO OUT connector allows co-

lour playback images to be viewed on the monitor.

The playback signal is output to the viewfinder even during rewind (REW) and fast forward (FF).

Audio output selection and volume adjustment for the playback signal are performed by the

MONITOR switches and knobs on page 14.

Rec Review

If recording is paused and the RET button on the lens is pressed, the tape is automatically re-

wound and the playback images for the last two seconds appear on the viewfinder. This allows

the recording status to be checked.

After playback, the unit returns to the recording start standby status. Holding down the RET but-

ton rewinds and plays back up to 10 seconds of the tape.

images to be viewed on the monitor.
