Recording

Scene-to-scene continuity

If the unit is in the rec-pause mode, it is possible to ensure scene-to-scene continuity with an accuracy of 0 up to 1 frame just by pressing the VTR START button or lens VTR button.

If the unit is in a mode other than rec-pause, the point at which the scene-to-scene continuity is to be maintained must be located before recording is started.

During rec-pause

The scene-to-scene continuity timing is located automatically. However, the time taken until the start of recording differs depending on the setting of the VTR SAVE/STBY switch.

O When the VTR SAVE/STBY switch is set to SAVE, recording commences about two seconds after the VTR START button is pressed.

O When the VTR SAVE/STBY switch is set to STBY, recording commences as soon as the VTR START button is pressed.
