ABSTRACT

The eject button is also a standard feature on all camcorders. This button, often colored blue, can be found most anywhere on the camcorder. Usually they are located on the side, top or bottom of the camcorder near the tape door. By pressing this button, you can eject your tape or open the tape door so that you can insert your tape into the tape carriage. On many camcorders, the door opens and the tape carriage then pops or slides out. If this is the case with your camcorder, when loading the tape into the camcorder, slide your tape into the carriage, then let the camcorder pull the tape inside before closing the outside door. This allows you to make sure that the camcorder fi rmly seats the tape into its internal mechanism.
