SHOOTING OPERATION

Basic Recording Operation

1. Set the POWER switch to ON.
• The unit turns on in camera mode.
2. Start recording.
Press the REC/VTR trigger button on the GY-HD110 to
start recording.
Once recording has started, the FRONT TALLY lamp and
BACK TALLY lamp light red.
MEMO
The way the FRONT TALLY and the BACK TALLY lamps
flash differ depending on what you set in the FRONT TALLY
and BACK TALLY items on the OTHERS [1/2] menu screen.
XSee page 80.
CAUTION
• The unit enters the stop mode automatically at TAPE END.
If this mode continues for 3 minutes, the mode switches to
the tape protect mode.

PAUSE TIME item)
• If the REC/VTR trigger button is pressed very quickly and
repeatedly, or the POWER switch is moved immediately
after the trigger button is pressed, the GY-HD110 may not
enter the record mode.
To remedy this condition set the POWER switch to OFF
and wait for 5 seconds or more befo re turning the power
on again.
• A neat transition to the next recorded scene cannot be
guaranteed if a recording is ended by turning the POWER
switch or DC power supply OFF, or by removing the bat-
tery pack.
• Trial-shooting is always recommended before recording
important events to confirm the recording is satisfactory.
• The microphone may pick up the sound of the lens’ iris if
the iris is changed abruptly or the iris is manually moved
abruptly during recording.

About the Focus Assist Function

When you press this button during shooting, the area of focus
is displayed in blue, red or green, making it easy to focus
accurately.
XSee “LCD/VF [1/3] Menu Screen” onpage 74.
You can also set this function from the RET button.

RET item)
About the QUICK REC START Mode
If the REC/VTR trigger button is pressed immediately after
the videocassette is inserted, the mode becomes the
QUICK REC START mode that enables quick start of
recording.
However, when shooting starts in the middle of the tape, a
blank space appears as the new scene will not be linked
smoothly with the previous image.
Also, the time code does not continue. (Some overlap may
also occur.)
