If the PRE REC MODE item is set to “ON,” video signals

for the time set in the PRE REC TIME item before starting

are recorded.

≥ The data contained in the storage memory becomes

unstable immediately after the power is turned on,

immediately after the PRE REC MODE item setting is

selected or its set time has been changed, and

immediately after playback or rec-review has been

performed. Immediately after any of these operations,

therefore, the video and audio signals will not be pre-

recorded for the duration set when recording is started by

pressing the REC START button or VTR button on the

lens.

3-4 To record video signals of a few seconds before starting recording (PRE-RECORDING function)

By always storing a few seconds’ worth (maximum of 7 seconds) of audio and video data shot by the camera, it is possible to record video and audio signals a few seconds before recording is actually started by pressing the REC START button or the VTR button on the lens in the built-in memory.

In order for this function to be used, it is necessary to open the <REC FUNCTION> screen from the SYSTEM SETTING page and set the data storage time in memory using the PRE REC MODE item and the PRE REC TIME item using the menu operation.

PRE REC MODE

ON: PRE RECORDING function is activated.

OFF: Recording starts about 0.4 seconds after pressing the REC START button or the VTR button on the lens.

If you stop recording by pressing the REC START button or the VTR button on the lens, the message “TAPE ¢S” will be displayed on the viewfinder screen.

PRE REC TIME

From 0 to 7 seconds:

A value from 0 to 7 seconds is set as the length of time for which the video and audio signals can be recorded before the REC START button or the VTR button on the lens is pressed.

≥ The video data and audio data are not stored in the

storage memory while playback or rec-review is being

performed. This means that the pre-recording will not

include the video and audio signals supplied during a

playback or rec-review operation.

≥ 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.
