Basic shooting operations (continued)

Operations Basic

•The images shot from when shooting starts until it is stopped are recorded as one clip.

•When recording is paused after a short period, a small amount of time may be required after pressing the START/STOP button to stop recording before writing to the SD Memory Card is terminated.

This means that operations cannot be accepted if the START/STOP button is pressed immediately.

•The camera will read information from the SD Memory Card immediately after the card is inserted. Press the START/STOP button to begin recording after (pause: green) is displayed in the operation status display. (Page 92 of Vol.2)

AVCHD mode:

•The camera’s factory default setting is PH mode 1080/60i recording.

(To view current setting status: Page 11 of Vol.2)

•The upper limit for the number of clips which can be recorded on a single SD Memory Card is 900. (However, this number may exceed 900 clips at times such as when shooting immediately after the POWER switch has been set to ON.)

•Mosaic-like noise may appear on the playback screen under the following shooting conditions:

�When there are complex patterns in the background

�When the camera is moved in large motions or when it is moved very quickly

�When a fast-moving subject has been recorded (and especially when HE has been set as the recording mode)

DV mode:

•The camera’s factory default setting is 480/60i recording.

•The upper limit for the number of clips which can be recorded on a single SD Memory Card is 999.

Checking photos taken (REC CHECK)

Press the REC CHECK/PHOTO SHOT button (Page 20) while in recording standby mode. The last two seconds of video and audio will be played, and the camera returns to recording standby mode.

•Only the POWER and START/STOP buttons are operable during REC CHECK.

•The REC CHECK images are also recorded when a device is connected to the camera and backup images have been recorded.

•The REC CHECK function does not work when PB has been selected as the operation mode or when connected to a computer.

•This function also does not work after recording if the REC FORMAT has been changed, or if the camera has been set to CAMERA mode after having switched to another mode (PB, PHOTO, etc.).

•This function does not work if the SD Memory Card is removed and reinserted.
