Prevent camcorder power-downs in video applications
Authored by: RobGoodison on Jul 05, '03 09:49:17AM

There is another method of preventing camcorder power-downs.

Instead of removing the tape completely, just set the tape to a non-recordable state... i.e. engage the SAVE mode rather than the RECORD mode on the actual tape.

This works fine on a Canon MV530i camcorder here, and saves a little wear and tear on the tape eject mechanism on the camcorder.
