the viewfinder in black and white. There are two other ways to review
the recording.

the viewfinder in black and white.
• Color playback: You can see the recording in color on a color video
monitor without the need for any external adaptor.
You may also view the picture by pressing the PLAY + REW button or
PLAY + F FWD button during searching by rewinding or fast

See Section 2-3 “Audio Functions” (page 2-5) for information about the switches
and controls used to select the audio output signal and to adjust the audio level.
Note
When a tape recorded in a different format is played back, a warning
message appears in the display window during playback.
Example: When the format of the recorded tape is 59.94I and the format
of the camcorder is set to 23.98 PsF, the message “59 - - 23” appears.
