state regardless of the positions of the VTR SAVE/STBY switch.
When the ONE SHOT mode of INTERVAL REC is to be exitedThere are two ways to do this.
1)Use the menu operations to set the INTERVAL REC HOLD item to OFF to turn off the POWER switch of the unit.
When the INTERVAL REC HOLD item is set to ON, the interval recording settings are not released even if the POWER switch on the unit is turned off.
2)Perform a menu operation and select OFF as the INTERVAL REC MODE item setting.
≥
Whether the sound is to be recorded or not during interval recording is set by setting ON or OFF for the AUDIO REC item on the <REC FUNCTION> screen.
≥Tape function
During interval recording, all the tape function buttons (EJECT, REW, FF and PLAY/STILL) except STOP do not work.
≥When the unit’s power was turned off during recording If the unit’s POWER switch was set to the OFF position during interval recording with the use of the memory, the tape will continue to run in order to record the video signals which were stored in the memory until the moment when the POWER switch was set to OFF, and then the power will automatically go off.
If the battery was removed, the DC cable was disconnected or the power supplied through the external DC power supply was cut off during recording, those shots (Maximum 5 seconds, 150 frames) taken prior to the moment concerned may not be recorded. Bear this in mind when the battery is to be replaced.
≥When the tape has run out during recording
Bear in mind that if the tape has run out and stops during interval recording with the use of the memory, those shots (Maximum 5 seconds, 150 frames) taken prior to the moment when the tape stopped may not be recorded.
≥Starting recording quickly when unit is in pause mode Selecting REC as the setting for one of either USER MAIN or USER1/USER2 buttons in advance enables quick start recording during pause mode when the set button is pressed. Measurement of pause mode time is continued even after quick start recording.
≥If a PLAY, FF or REW operation is performed after one- shot recording, the operation will be performed after the images remaining in the memory are written on the tape.
While the images are being recorded, the LED of the button pressed (for play, FF or REW operation) will flash.
≥Concerning the time code display
When recording has been started, the time code (TCG) display may remain in the hold status until it is possible for the time code (TCR) on the tape to be read.
≥After turning the power ON, inserting a tape, or pressing PLAY/FF/REW, the first recording made with INTERVAL REC (including ONE SHOT mode) will be about 1 second longer than the time set in the REC TIME menu option. This is to guarantee the quality of consecutive recordings and is not a defect.
