Frame Dropping
When a program accesses the hard disk during recording, a part of the data input from the camcorder may not be written to the file (frame dropping).
When frame dropping occurs, the number of dropped frames appears under [Number of dropped
frames] in the recording panel. In addition, the display on the camcorder screen changes from [
]
to [
] for a few seconds.
When the file is created on the hard disk after recording, you can check the scenes where frame dropping occurred under [Recording history].
