Inserting your Tape The most popular tape is the Mini DV. It is higher quality than the HI-8
There is a sliding switch at the bottom of mast cameras that allows you to slide the door open.
Let the camera slide open the tape carrier and then put your tape in as shown.
Each camera has a place for you to push to close the tape carrier. Press at that place to keep the tape balanced. Wait for the tape carrier to move back into place completely before shutting the door.
Viewing your Video
In VCR Mode you can look on the LCD Screen and view your video. There are buttons for Play, RW, FF, etc.
Importing your Video into the Computer A connection called a Firewire cable is used to transfer video
Look for a plug on your camera called a DV plug. Plug the small end of your cable into it and the other end into the firewire port on your computer.
Open iMovie and turn your camera on to VCR
