If your handycam uses tape to record videos, then insert a new tape inside the cam. The latest models of the Sony Handycams use SD cards to record videos. If you have the latest version, then you only need to free some space in the card in order to use it to save video files. Once you are done with inserting the tape, turn on the handycam. The power button should be prominent on your device, no matter what model you are using.
