NOTES

You can use only one special recording mode at a time. In addition, slow & fast motion mode cannot be used with double slot recording.

While recording, you cannot change the shooting frame rate.

For lower shooting frame rates, it may take approximately 1 second to stop recording.

Slow & fast motion mode will be deactivated if the special recording mode is changed or turned off. It will be deactivated also if you change the video configuration.

The time code advances while video is recorded. If the running mode of the time code (070) is set to [Free Run] or the time code is input from an external source (bonly), the running mode will switch to [Rec Run] during special recording mode. When special recording mode is deactivated, the running mode will return to its previous setting.

bDuring special recording mode, the time code signal will not be output from the GENLOCK/TC terminal or HD/SD SDI terminal.

When the bit rate is set to 50 Mbps (046) during slow motion recording, relay recording is not available.

Pre-recording Mode

When pre-recording mode is activated, the camcorder starts recording continuously into a temporary memory of approximately 3 seconds so when you press the START/STOP button, the clip will contain also approximately 3 seconds of video and audio recorded before you pressed the button.
