Can I record from VHS (VCR) to my Camcorder Can't Post

I wanted to capture some favourite TV shows from VCR cassetes onto my Camcorder. How can I do this? If anybody has any idea please let me know.

Your camcorder works in two modes, "camera" and "VCR". In the VCR mode, it's just like any other VCR. Hook up the cables from the OUT terminals of your VCR to the terminals of the camcorder. There will probably be a switch to select "Output" or "Input" function for these terminals; set it to "In".
When you've got it right, if you play a tape in your VCR, you should see the picture in your camera's LCD screen or viewfinder. The REC button for copying may be in a different location than the "REC" trigger you use for camera work; check your users manual.
