Editing
Video editing lets you refine your videos by
removing unwanted sequences from your tape,
or transposing one sequence with another.
This VIEWCAM lets you monitor the source pro-
gramme on the built-in LCD monitor without
having to connect it to an external TV or video
monitor.
Connect the VIEWCAM to a VCR with the sup-
plied audio/video cable, as shown.
Cutting Unwanted Sequences
1 Play back the tape to be edited, and
locate the beginning and end of the
sequence you wish to cut. Write down
the time code or tape counter readings
at the beginning and end of that
sequence (see pages 44 and 45). Then
rewind the tape to the beginning of the
portion that you wish to keep.
2 Load a video cassette into the recording
VCR.
3 Set the Power switch on the VIEWCAM
to VCR. Press the PLAY/STILL button
(
) on the VIEWCAM and the REC
(Record) button on the VCR at the same
time.
4 Press the Pause/Still button on the VCR
to pause recording when the source
tape reaches the beginning of the
sequence to be cut.
5 Press the Pause/Still (or REC) button on
the VCR to resume recording when the
source tape reaches the end of the
sequence to be cut.
To stop editing
Press the Stop buttons on the VIEWCAM and
the VCR.
Notes:
• Some of the transitions between edited
sequences may be slightly off.
• There may be picture noise during video search
or still picture playback. This does not imply a
defect in the VIEWCAM.
• The time code display will be recorded along
with the edited sequences if the TC OUT menu
item is set to “ON”. Set to “OFF” before editing
(see page 44).
• The VIEWCAM cannot be used as the recording
source.
