is operated). This may result in breaks in the recording on tape on an external recorder. In the case of HDD recording
this may result in this device staying in REC PAUSE or divided files.

Note 4:

If HD/SD SDI OUT on the VIDEO FORMAT[2/2] menu screen is set to ON, the internal VCR start delay becomes
approximately 3 seconds.
