During INTERVAL REC mode general notes
Sound
By selecting “ON”/“OFF” for the menu option AUDIO REC in the <REC FUNCTION> screen, it is possible to specify whether or not sound will be recorded during interval recording.
Record/playback buttons
During interval recording, all operation buttons other than STOP (REW, FF, PLAY/PAUSE) are disabled. However, during a pause in ONE SHOT mode, REC REVIEW can be executed with the RET button on the lens.
If the POWER switch is turned [OFF] during recording
If the unit is turned off during interval recording, the video stored in memory is recorded onto the P2 card, and then the unit automatically turns off.
To start emergency recording during a pause
If the REC START/STOP button is assigned to one of the USER MAIN, USER 1, USER 2, MARKER SELECT and TEXT MEMO button in advance, emergency recording can be started during a pause by holding down the relevant button. Pause time measurement continues after such emergency recording.
Note
However, this function does not work in native recording with VFR operation.
Time code indication
When recording starts, the time code (TCG) display may not update until the unit recognizes the P2 card.
Removing cards
During INTERVAL REC mode operation, the P2 card access LED for the target P2 card blinks in orange. Do not remove the P2 card during this status. If you should remove the card accidentally, restore clips. However, even if the clips are restored, the last 3 to 4 seconds of the recording (up to a maximum of about 10 seconds if the P2 card is removed while recording onto multiple P2 cards) may be lost. For more information on how to fix clips, see [Restoring Clips] (page 129).

Playback and Recording
Recording Review Function
When recording is paused, pressing the RET button automatically locates the last 2 seconds of video just recorded, and the viewfinder provides video playback. Thus, it is possible to check whether the recording has been performed correctly.
After playback, the unit is again ready to start recording. The picture location/playback duration can be increased to up to 10 seconds by continuously pressing the RET button. For short clips, however, when the start of a clip is located, continuously pressing the RET button does not play back any clips before that clip.
The function of the RET button may be assigned to a desired user button by using one of the menu options USER MAIN SW, USER1 SW, USER2 SW, MARKER SEL or TEXT MEMO SW. These options can be found in the <USER SW> screen on the CAM OPERATION page. When recording is paused, pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button plays back the last recorded clip, from the beginning. After completion of playback, the unit enters the stopped state.
