Cassette control buttons
While recording in Single Trigger mode of Manual Interval Rec (the green TALLY indicator in the viewfinder flashes (2 flashes/second)), you cannot use the cassette control buttons (REW, F FWD, PLAY and STOP). Note that the camcorder stops recording in the single trigger mode of the Manual Interval Rec mode if you press the EJECT button.

To stop recording, press the VTR START button or the VTR button on the lens. However, the tape may run to record the picture data stored in the memory before stopping the manual interval recording.

While recording in Continuous Trigger mode of Manual Interval Rec, you cannot change the settings of CACHE/ INTVAL REC, NUMBER OF FRAME and TRIGGER INTERVAL on the FUNCTION 1 page. To change these settings, stop recording by pressing the VTR START button or the VTR button on the lens or by setting the POWER switch to OFF.
When the camcorder power is switched off during recording in Manual Interval Rec mode
•When you set the POWER switch to OFF, the camcorder will switch off by itself after disc access has continued for a few seconds to record the picture data stored in memory.
•If you remove the battery, unplug the DC cable, or cut the power to the AC adaptor during manual interval recording, picture data stored before recording stops (a maximum of 10 seconds) may be lost. Take care when changing the battery.
When tape runs out during recording in Manual Interval Rec mode
Note that picture data (a maximum of 5 seconds) at the instant the tape stopped is not recorded if the tape runs out and the camcorder stops.

In the above example, with the camcorder in the recording pause mode after recording the cut 3, press the RET switch on the lens while holding the ASSIGN 1 switch down.
The camcorder automatically positions the tape at the end point of cut 2 and turns in the recording pause mode. Record cut 4.

Notes
•When pictures consisting of cuts recorded using the RE- TAKE function are played back on a VTR for professional use, the CHANNEL CONDITION indicator, which indicates the condition of the played back signal of the VTR, may be lit in yellow, noise may be added to the cue audio for the first 2 or 3 seconds, or the previously recorded timecode may be displayed for a few seconds. To avoid this, it is recommended that you make the first part of the cut (in the above example, cut 4) about 3 seconds longer.
