Note:

If the VTR trigger button is pressed immediately after the videocassette is inserted, the mode becomes the QUICK REC mode that enables quick start of recording.

However, when shooting starts in the middle of the tape, a blank space appears as the new scene will not be linked smoothly with the previous image.

Also, the time code does not continue. (Some overlap may also occur.)

tension is released. (Save mode)

PAUSE TIME.

When used in a cold environment, the setting will be 3

minutes regardless of the setting on the VCR Setup

Menu.

☞ See page 69.

●The unit enters stop mode at tape-end automatically, and if kept longer than 3 or 30 minutes in this mode, SAVE mode is maintained. ☞ See “Menu No. 307: LONG PAUSE TIME” on page 69.

●If the VTR trigger button is pushed very quickly and repeatedly, or the POWER switch is moved immediately after being pressed, the viewfinder REC indicator lamp may blink and the GY-DV500 may not enter the record mode. To remedy this condition set the POWER switch to OFF and wait for 5 seconds or more before turning the power on again.

●A neat transition to the next recorded scene cannot be guaranteed if you end a recording by turning the POWER switch or DC power supply OFF, or by removing the battery pack.

●Before recording a scene that is particularly important, perform test shooting to ensure that normal recording is possible.

●The power consumption can be reduced by setting the LIGHT switch on the display and TALLY lamp to OFF.

●The microphone may pick up the sound of the lens’ iris if the iris is changed abruptly or the iris is manually moved abruptly during recording. If you find the noise annoying, please purchase an optional microphone in order to move the microphone away from the lens or ensure that the iris is not changed abruptly during shooting.

The QUICK REC mode of this unit is different from conventional models such as (GY-X1, GY-X2, and GY-

 

←

X2B). It is not a fully automatic mode operation. In this case it is a function that shortens the time to the

 

 

initiation of the start of the recording.
