The clip does not stop combining even when the STOP button is pressed in the Menu or on the thumbnail display.

Pressing the STOP or REC button on a remote control unit (AJ-RC10G) or extension control unit (AG-EC4G) does not stop the clip compiling process.

To exit one-clip recording mode

Set the menu option ONE CLIP REC to OFF.

To cue to the start of the combined section of the clip

A text memo can be automatically added to the start of the recording, the start of a section can be cued for playback, and the thumbnail of the location can be checked before each recording.

To automatically add a text memo to the start point of the recording, set the menu option START TEXT MEMO to ON in the RECORDING SETUP screen.

Check and playback the location of the added text memo by selecting THUMBNAIL TEXT MEMO CLIPS from the Thumbnail Menu and moving the cursor over the desired clip.

Refer to [Playing back a clip at the position where a text memo is recorded] (page 116) for details.

To cue to the location of the text memo during playback, set the menu option SEEK SELECT to CLIP&T in the OTHER FUNCTIONS screen, and press the FF or REW button while playback is paused.

Proxy recording in one-clip recording mode

Proxy recording is also possible in one-clip recording mode.

As proxy data is also compiled into combined clips, the data can be handled as a single clip in P2 Viewer. However, note the following precautions when recording proxy data to an SD memory card.

If the SD memory card is removed and replaced while compiling to a clip is in progress, proxy data will not be recorded to the new SD memory card until the compiling process is stopped. Check that there is sufficient space and confirm the number of files (up to 1000 clips can be recorded) before using an SD memory card. If you want to continue proxy recording after an SD memory card has been replaced, press and hold the STOP button for about 2 seconds to stop the compiling process, and start recording to a new clip.

If recording to an SD memory card is stopped mid- progress, the proxy data recorded on that card will be incomplete and will not match the clip data recorded to the P2 card.

Precautions for one-clip recording mode

This mode will not function when the interval recording, one-shot recording, loop recording, or VFR recording functions are selected.

This mode will not function when the menu option REC SIGNAL is set to 1394.

The menu and thumbnail operations are restricted as follows when combining to the clip. Press and hold the STOP button for about 2 seconds to stop combining to the clip when switching to this mode.

The following menu items cannot be changed.

SYSTEM MODE, REC SIGNAL, CAMERA MODE, REC FORMAT, PC MODE, REC FUNCTION, 25M REC CH SEL

NOTE

You can change the VFR menu option to ON using the scene dial or menu, even while compiling to a clip is in progress. When you do so, the compiling process is stopped, and a new clip will be created with each recording operation thereafter.

The following Menu items, related to the reading/ writing of the SD memory card and reading of the settings file, cannot be executed.

LOAD/SAVE/INIT in SCENE FILE, all options in CARD FUNCTIONS, CAC CARD READ in LENS SETUP, USER FILE and MENU INIT in OTHER FUNCTIONS

The following thumbnail menu items cannot be selected and executed.

OPERATIONCOPY

OPERATION DEVICE SETUP PROXY

The processing time to complete the recording may take a little more time than normally to allow the clip to be combined with subsequent recordings.

The fade process does not work on discontinuous audio during playback where the recordings are combined within the clip.

If non-linear editing software is used on clips with multiple combined recordings, the software may not operate normally (as of Apr. 2010).

For the latest information on software that has been confirmed to work with these types of clips, visit the support desk at the following website.
