To enable unbroken transition
Transition between the last scene you recorded and the next scene is unbroken as long
as you do not eject the cassette, even if you turn off your camcorder.

(CHG), and to CAMERA again. However, your camcorder does not turn off
automatically when a cassette is not inserted.
