Normal Recording

REC button starts recording of video and sound on the P2 card. A cluster of data that consists of video and sound generated through a shooting action, together with such added information as meta data, is called a “clip”.

Normal Recording and Native Recording

In the unit, the camera’s recording method is selectable between the Native recording method with the frame rate unchanged and the normal recording method pulling the frame rate down to 59.94 or 50 frames.

Normal recording (Pull-down recording)

Images at 24P (23.98p: referred to as 24P) are pulled down

in 2:3 mode. Images at 30P (29.97p: referred to as 30P) are pulled down in 2:2 mode and recorded as 59.94i (referred to as 60i). Images at 25P are recorded as 50i with 2:2 pulled down. 24PA (2:3:3:2 Advanced Pull down) is supported as well.

AVC-Intra does not support pull-down recording.

Native recoding

This recording method extracts and records effective frames at the frame rates of the AVC-Intra recording in 1080i. Even in Native recording, the rate for outputting camera images and playback images is 59.94i or 50i that are pulled down.

‹Notes

zThe recording will start from the top frame of a five-frame cycle for 24P/24PA recording or a four-frame cycle for 24P native recording, respectively. Therefore, the time code may be discontinued when recording clips continuously in different modes during the recording cycle.

zEven if a P2 card has just been inserted, or the power has been just turned on, you can start recording using the internal memory of camera-recorder. In this case, recording cannot be stopped until the P2 card is recognised. If the inserted card is not recognized as a recordable P2 card, the record in internal memory is instantly discarded, and the

message “CANNOT REC” message is displayed on the viewfinder. Pull the MARKER SEL, MODE CHK / MENU CANCEL switch to check P2 card status (displayed in viewfinder).
