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 REC 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.

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 REC START button is pressed.

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

3-4 PRE-RECORDING function

By always storing a few seconds’ worth (maximum of 10 seconds) of audio and video data shot by the camera, it is possible to record video and audio signals a number of seconds before recording is actually started by pressing the

REC START button or the VTR button on the lens.3 In order for this function to be used, it is necessary to open

the <REC FUNCTION> screen from the SYSTEM SETTING page and set the data storage time in the memory using the PRE REC MODE item by performing menu operations.

The PRE REC MODE item settings are described below.

OFF: The PRE-RECORDING function is not activated.

0-10SEC:A value from 0 to 10 seconds is set as the length of time for which the video and audio signals can be recorded before the REC START button or VTR button on the lens is pressed.

<Notes>

≥The data contained in the storage memory becomes unstable immediately after the power is turned on, immediately after the PRE REC MODE item setting is selected or its set time has been changed, and immediately after playback or rec-review has been performed. Immediately after any of these operations, therefore, the video and audio signals will not be pre-recorded for the duration set when recording is started by pressing the REC START button or VTR button on the lens.

≥The video data and audio data are not stored in the storage memory while playback or rec-review is being performed. This means that the pre-recording will not include the video and audio signals supplied during a playback or rec-review operation.

≥Bear in mind that when the ZOOM UP function is activated during the time set for pre-recording as a focus assist function in the progressive mode, the zoomed-in image will remain in the memory and end up being recorded on the tape.

≥When recording has been started, the time code (TCG) display may remain in the hold status until it is possible for the time code (TCR) on the tape to be read.
