Chapter 3 Recording and playback

3-3 Scene-to-scene continuity

Maintaining continuity from one scene to the next at an accuracy of +1 frame or less can be assured simply by pressing the VTR START button or VTR button on the lens while the unit is in the rec-pause mode.

If the unit is in a mode other than rec-pause, the point at which the scene-to-scene continuity is to be maintained must be located before recording is started.

Press the lens RET button. It takes about two seconds to complete the preparations for the scene-to-scene continuity.

Press the VTR START button or lens VTR button to start 3 the recording.

Scene-to-scene continuity during rec-pause

The scene-to-scene continuity timing is located automatically. However, the time taken until the start of recording differs depending on the setting of the VTR SAVE/STBY switch.

When the VTR SAVE/STBY switch is set to SAVE, recording commences about two seconds after the VTR START button is pressed.

When the VTR SAVE/STBY switch is set to STBY, recording commences as soon as the VTR START button is pressed.

Ensuring scene-to-scene continuity after the power was turned off while the unit was in the rec-pause mode

1 Switch the power back on.

2 Press the VTR START button or lens VTR button to start the recording.

Ensuring scene-to-scene continuity at other times

Proceed as follows either after the tape has been allowed to run or after the cassette has been ejected or when ensuring continuity on a tape which has been recorded only in part.

1 While monitoring the viewfinder screen, press the PLAY/PAUSE button to play back the tape.

2 At the place on the tape where continuity is to be maintained, press the PLAY/PAUSE (or STOP) button again to stop the tape.

It is also possible for the function of the VTR START button or VTR button on the lens to be allocated to the USER MAIN, USER1 or USER2 button.

For details, refer to “4-8-4 Allocating functions to the USER MAIN, USER1 and USER2 buttons.”

3-4 NEWS REC function SDC615

The NEWS REC function is set using the NEWS REC MODE item after opening the <REC FUNCTION> screen from the SYSTEM SETTING page by performing menu operations.

By controlling the VTR START button acknowledgment time during recording (by up to 2 seconds), the time taken for the unit to transfer from the recording mode to the rec-pause mode can be delayed.

In other words, by controlling the VTR START button operation acknowledgment time, the unit can continuously record without the user having to interrupt the recording: this safeguards against the failure to record those precious moments—a failure that occurs when recording is resumed immediately after it was shut down temporarily.
