Other VTR functions

NEWS REC function

The NEWS REC function is set using NEWS REC MODE on the VTR MENU “FUNCTION” screen.

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.

RETAKE function

The RETAKE function is activated by selecting ON for RETAKE MODE on the VTR MENU “FUNCTION” screen.

If the lens RET button is pressed while holding down the MODE CHECK button when the unit is in the rec- pause mode upon completion of a recording or subsequently in the STOP mode, the tape will be rewound to a point near the start point (a position about 10 frames ahead of the recording start point) of the final picture which was last recorded, and the unit will be set to the rec-pause mode.

If there is enough leeway in the shooting time and a particular cut is clearly judged to be no good, recording can be started from that point so that the no-good cut will be deleted.

By cutting down on the time taken for copying onto the work tape, for instance, this function is very effective in achieving economical operation.

INTERVAL REC (intermittent recording) function

This function makes simple interval shooting (intermittent recording) possible. It proves to be particularly effective when shooting programs with a nature theme or art programs.

The INTERVAL REC function is set on the VTR MENU “FUNCTION” screen.

O INTERVAL REC MODE

This sets the INTERVAL REC function to ON or OFF.

O INTERVAL REC TIME

This sets the recording time (1 cut) for interval shooting.

O INTERVAL PAUSE TIME

This sets the rec-pause time for interval shooting.

Once the above items are set, the unit is set to the INTERVAL REC mode, and “i” starts to flash inside the viewfinder.

When the VTR START button is now pressed, interval shooting is started, and “iREC” lights in place of “i.” Also, the time unit (h/min/s/frm) display on the counter display area starts to flash.

When the unit is set to rec-pause mode upon completion of the first interval shooting, “iREC” goes from lighted to flashing inside the viewfinder.

The time unit display on the counter display area remains flashing.
