    Playback — Checking Recorded Contents
    Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button allows black-and-white images to be viewed on the viewfinder
    screen. Playback images can also be viewed in two other ways.
    ÁRec review:When the RET switch has been set to “REC CHECK” on the “REC (ASPECT)/
    RET” setting menu, it is possible to view the last two seconds of the recording in the form of
    black-and-white images on the viewfinder screen.
    ÁColor playback: Connecting a color monitor to the unit’s VIDEO OUT connector allows color
    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 MON-
    ITOR switches and knobs on page 13.
    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 button
    rewinds and plays back up to 10 seconds of the tape.
    |Note{
    The rec review function cannot be used unless recording has been performed for more than
    1 second.
