NOTES

•When you set the q>[Rec Command] setting to [iOn] and you use the HDMI terminal to connect the camcorder to a device capable of receiving recording commands through a connection via the HDMI terminal, if you start or stop recording with the camcorder, the connected device will also start or stop recording.

•When the camcorder switches form recording on one memory card to another during relay recording, the video will be recorded as two separate relay scenes. With the supplied software, Data Import Utility, you can join relay scenes recorded on both memory cards as a single scene and save it on a computer (A108).

•For scenes with a long recording time, the video (stream) file in a scene will be split approximately every 4 GB. Even in such case, playback will be continuous. With the supplied software, Data Import Utility, you can join such split files into a single scene and save it on a computer (A108).
