The menu disappears from the viewfinder screen and the message MANU INTERVAL *FRAME, indicating the single trigger mode of the Manual Interval Rec mode, appears along the bottom of the viewfinder. *FRAME indicates the number of frames set in step 6. The display indicating the current status of the camcorder appears along the top and bottom of the viewfinder.

Note

The settings for Single Trigger mode of Manual Interval Rec are maintained until changed. However, if you switch the camcorder power off, all Manual Interval Rec mode settings are cleared except for the NUMBER OF FRAME setting and the single trigger mode selection. To use Single Trigger mode of the Manual Interval Rec function again after switching on the power, perform steps 1 and 2.

Recording in Single Trigger mode of Manual Interval Rec

Follow the procedure below to shoot a picture in Single Trigger mode of Manual Interval Rec.

Note

When you use cassettes on which nothing is recorded, such as brand new cassettes, be sure to record color bars for more than 2 seconds at the beginning of a cassette.

1 After performing the basic procedure for shooting and recording following the instructions in “3-2-1 Basic Procedures” on page 34, secure the camcorder so that it will not move.

2 Push the VTR START button on the camcorder or the VTR button on the lens.

The camcorder starts recording in Single Trigger mode of Manual Interval Rec. The TALLY indicator (green) in the viewfinder flashes (2 flashes/second) and the message MANU INTERVAL *FRAME flashes on the viewfinder screen.

Each time you press the VTR START button or the VTR button, the camcorder captures and stores the picture data of the preset number of frames. The REC indicator in the viewfinder is on while the camcorder is capturing the picture in the memory. The camcorder stores picture data (about 5 seconds worth) in memory, and then actually records the stored picture data on the tape. The tape runs intermittently.

To stop recording in Single Trigger mode

You can stop recording in Single Trigger mode of Manual Rec Interval using the following two methods. However, the tape may continue to run to record the picture data stored in the memory at the instant the tape stopped.

•Press the EJECT button.

•Set the POWER switch to OFF.

Setting Continuous Trigger mode of Manual Interval Rec

1 Follow the procedure in steps 1 to 9 in “Setting Single Trigger mode of Manual Interval Rec” on page 45.

2 Turn the MENU knob clockwise or counterclockwise to display the desired trigger interval.
