When recording always in the same recording time mode instead of setting the mode using the TIME MODE button, set RT1 through RT7 for the REC TYPE item on the setting menu shown on the P3 RECORDING T-MODE & CAMERA screen, and set the REC TYPE (RT1 through RT7) to be used for recording for the REC-TYPE item on the P4 RECORDING MODE screen.

Select RT7 when using one camera for the recording. This enables the images of the camera connected to the camera input 1 connector to be recorded.
