Automatic Demonstration takes place when "DEMO MODE" is set to "ON"
(factory-preset).
• Available when the Power Switch
on the switch.
• Performing any operation during the demonstration stops the demonstration temporarily. If no operation
is performed for more than 1 minute after that, the demonstration will resume.
• "DEMO MODE" remains "ON" even if the camcorder power is turned off.
• To cancel Automatic Demonstration, set the Power Switch
while the demo is in progress. This takes you directly to the demo mode's Setting Menu (so you will not
have to go through the main Menu Screen). Rotate the MENU Wheel
NOTES:
• When a tape whose Erase Protection tab is in the position that allows recording is loaded in the
camcorder, demonstration is not available.
• If you do not detach the Lens Cap, you cannot see the actual changes of the Automatic Demonstration
