When the PLAY/PAUSE button is pressed, the playback pictures can be monitored in black and white on the viewfinder screen.
These playback pictures can be monitored in two other ways.
Rec reviewWhen recording is temporarily stopped and the lens RET button is pressed, the last two seconds of the tape are automatically rewound, and the playback pictures on this part of the tape appear on the viewfinder screen. This makes it possible to check whether recording was performed properly.
After the two seconds of the tape have been played back, the unit is again set to the recording start standby mode.
If the RET button is held down, a maximum of 10 seconds of the tape is rewound and played back.
<Note>
The rec review function cannot be used unless recording lasts for one or more seconds.
When an HD color monitor is connected to the unit’s HD SDI OUT connector, color playback pictures can be monitored.
The playback signals will be output to the viewfinder even during rewinding (REW) or fast forwarding (FF). Selecting the audio output of the playback signal and adjusting the volume are accomplished using the MONITOR switch control (page 11).
