Backup recording

The camera images of the camera recorder can be recorded and their recording can be backed up automatically on the external component connected to the DV connector.

OSet the external component control method using the DV CONTROL item and DV CMD SEL item on the setting menu OTHER FUNCTIONS screen. (See page 48)

Bear in mind the following points when performing backup recording.

O The menu item settings remain stored in the memory even after the power has been turned off. Therefore, if the camera recorder is used while the settings for backup recording are still in place, the images may be overwritten on the tape in the connected component.

Upon completion of the backup recording, check the menu item settings before operating the camera recorder.

O If another model AG-DVX100A is to be used as the external component which will perform the backup recording, select OFF as the setting for the DV CONTROL item of the external component, and set the camera recorder to the VCR mode for use.

O When backup recording is to be performed, operation may not proceed properly if two or more external components are connected.

O Ensure that the IEEE 1394 cable used for the connection is not more than 4.5 meters long.

O Before proceeding with backup recording, establish the status in which the DV signals can be recorded by the external component.

O When the tape in the camera recorder is approaching the end during shooting while backup recording is being performed with “CHAIN” selected as the setting for the DV CONTROL item (page 48), recording is automatically started by the back-up component which has been set to the recording standby mode.
