MEMO

The way the FRONT TALLY and the BACK TALLY lamps flash differ depending on what you set in the FRONT TALLY and BACK TALLY items on the OTHERS[1/2] menu screen. X See page 96.

CAUTION

•This device enters the stop mode automatically at TAPE END. If this mode continues for 3 minutes, the mode switches to the tape protect mode.

X See “OTHERS[1/2] Menu Screen” on page 96. (LONG PAUSE TIME item)

•If the REC/VTR trigger button is pressed very quickly and repeatedly, or the POWER switch is moved immedi- ately after the trigger button is pressed, the GY-HD250/ GY-HD251 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 a recording is ended by turning the POWER switch or DC power supply OFF, or by removing the battery pack.

•Trial-shooting is always recommended before recording important events to confirm the recording is satisfactory.

•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.

About the QUICK REC START Mode

If the REC/VTR trigger button is pressed immediately after the videocassette is inserted, the mode becomes the QUICK REC START 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.)

About the Focus Assist Function

When you press this button during shooting, the area of focus is displayed in blue, red or green, making it easy to focus accurately.

X See “LCD/VF[1/4] Menu Screen” on page 89. You can also set this function from the RET button.

X See “SWITCH MODE Menu Screen” on page 86. (LENS RET item)

When FOCUS ASSIST on the LCD/VF[1/4] menu screen is set to ACCU-FOCUS, ACCU FOCUS functions with FOCUS ASSIST. This makes focusing with shallower depth of field easier. ACCU FOCUS automatically turns OFF after approxi- mately 10 seconds. X See page 89

If the Record-Standby Mode Contin- ues

Setting the time before the tape protection mode is engaged The time before the tape protection mode is engaged from the record-standby mode can be set to 5 minutes or 3 min- utes with the LONG PAUSE TIME item on the OTHERS[1/2] screen menu. X See page 96.

When the record-standby mode has continued for about 5 minutes or 3 minutes, the GY-HD250/GY-HD251 automati- cally stops drum rotation in order to protect the tape. (Tape protect mode)

In the tape protect mode, STOP is shown as the VTR mode indication on the LCD monitor and in the viewfinder screen. (STATUS 1 screen)
