ABSTRACT
Although HD cameras are usually capable of playing back a tape, I strongly advise you never to do this. In absolute extremis, perhaps, but that does not include the director wanting to see a printed tape or any continuity problems. The VTR on the camera is primarily designed as a record unit and
without tedious precautions will assume that is your requirement and happily record over any material already existing on the tape. Believe me, I know!
