This is quite easy...
Connect the two cameras with the 4-pin to 4-pin
FireWire cable, put both in VCR mode, lock the
tape to be copied so it cannot accidentally be
erased and put it in one camera, put a blank
tape in the other camera, hit "play" on the
camera to be recorded from, hit "record" on
the camera to be recorded to (you can see the
image of the copied tape in the finders of both
cameras, and a red spot in the finder of the
recording camera).
