Recording Video
This section explains the recording basics. Before you use an external recorder, make sure it is operating correctly. Before you begin recording on a CF card, make a test recording first to check if the camera is operating correctly. Record for approximately 6 minutes at 50 Mbps (A62). Should the camera fail to operate correctly, refer to Troubleshooting (A184).
For details on recording audio, refer to Recording Audio (A92).
Operating modes: 
Preparing to Record
1 Attach the monitor unit, handle unit, etc. as necessary to build the desired configuration (A34).
2 Attach a charged battery pack to the camera (A26).
3 For MXF recordings, insert a CF card into a CF card slot (A45).
• Insert another CF card into the other CF card slot to use relay recording (A48) or double slot recording (A48).
4 Attach a lens (A35, 37).
5 To make 4K and 2K recordings, connect the camera to an external recorder (A43).
