To continuously record the next scene Repeat steps 4 and 5.

The scene number will be automatically incremented from the previous number.

You can set or clear an “NG” designation for the previously recorded scene before shooting the next scene.

If you have stopped the recording, see “Resuming Recording in ClipLink Mode” (page 81).

Notes

•During recording pause, pressing the STOP/PLAY/F FWD/REW buttons, performing edit search, or ejecting the cassette will interrupt the ClipLink shooting. With this state, it is impossible to start back space editing using ClipLink function. (The ClipLink continue mode is canceled and indication CONT in the display window disappears.) To perform back space editing at the recording stop position, press the ClipLink CONTINUE button before resuming recording. If you do resume recording without pressing this button first, the previous recorded data (and Index Pictures) will be overwritten or otherwise invalidated.

•Each time you press the STOP button, the number of remaining clips is decremented by one. If you resume recording with the same VCR, the number of remaining clips is automatically incremented by one.

For details, see “Resuming Recording in ClipLink Mode” (page 81).

•Do not unplug the power supply connector (connected to a battery pack or AC outlet) while the POWER switch is still set to ON, as this may cause the ClipLink function to operate abnormally. Be sure to set the POWER switch to OFF before disconnecting the power supply.

Setting Editing Points WhileShooting

You can use the TAKE button to record a time code for a Cue point or a Mark IN/OUT point.

Setting Mark IN/OUT points as you shoot

The following data is recorded onto the cassette when you specify Mark IN/OUT points while shooting continuously at length, instead of during linked recording of each scene.

•Time codes (HH:MM:SS) for Mark IN/OUT points

•Scene number: The scene number counter is automatically incremented with each Mark OUT point specification.

•NG specification, cassette name/number

•Index Pictures for all Mark IN points (when the DSBK-301A is fitted): these are recorded each time recording is stopped.
