8. To stop recording: Press the VTR trigger button on the unit or on the lens section again. The TALLY lamp and REC indicator lamp go out and the unit enters the record-standby mode.

4. Insert a videocassette into the cassette insertion slot. ● Ensure that the erasure-prevention switch on the back of the cassette is set to REC and insert a videocassette properly. When the cassette is inserted, the tape is loaded and the unit enters the record-standby mode. ● Slowly close the cassette cover.

MEMO: ● Use a standard DV videocassette or a MiniDV videocassette. (When a DVCAM cassette is used for recording, longer recording can be performed than the time indicated on the DVCAM cassette. For the recording time, regard the remaining tape indication displayed on the LCD or in the viewfinder as a guide.) ● Following loading of the cassette and when the POWER switch is turned ON/OFF, the built-in head cleaner will emit a sound while operating. This does not indicate a malfunction. ● After the cassette cover is closed, it takes about 10 seconds before the unit is ready for recording.

5. Adjust the camera section settings and the white balance.

About the QUICK REC START Mode

If the 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.) This function does not work during DV signal input.

CAUTION:

●The unit enters the record standby mode automatically at TAPE END. If this mode continues for 3 or 30 minutes, the mode switches to the tape protect mode.

☞ See “LONG PAUSE TIME item on the OTHERS (1/2) menu screen” on page 77.

●If the VTR trigger button is pressed very quickly and repeatedly, or the POWER switch is moved immediately after the trigger button is pressed, the viewfinder REC indicator lamp may blink and the GY-DV5000 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. If the sound is found 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.
