8 If required, switch on the center marker and/or safety zone (basic menu page 6 and advanced menu page 4) and zebra pattern (ZEBRA switch) in the viewfinder image.

9 Adjust the white balance (page 71) and black balance (page 74).

10Turn the focusing ring so that the subject is sharply in focus. It may be convenient to use the EZ FOCUS button for the “easy focus” function (see page 12).

11Set up the VTR according to your shooting objectives, then start recording.

If a camera control unit is not connected: Press

the VTR button on the camera head or on the lens.

If a camera control unit is connected: Press the VTR’s record button to begin recording.

For details of VTR setup and operations, see your VTR’s operating instructions.

•During recording, the REC/TALLY indicator(s) in the viewfinder light(s), and “REC” appears on the viewfinder screen.

•Depending on the setting of the REC TIME switch (See page 13), you can display the total recording time or the length of the camera cut on the viewfinder screen.

•When recording on the DSR-1/1P, you can use the AUDIO LEVEL knob on the front of the camera head to manually adjust the channel 1 audio level. To do this, you must first set up the DSR-1/1P to enable manual adjustment of the audio recording level.

For details of this operation, see the operating instructions for the DSR-1/1P.

12To pause recording, press the VTR button again.

Reviewing the recording

It is possible to review the last few seconds of the recording on the tape (recording review).

Press the VTR button to pause recording, then press the RET button on the lens.

Depending on how long the button is pressed, the tape is automatically rewound over the last two to ten seconds from the paused position, and then this part is played back in the viewfinder. If the RET button is kept pressing, about ten seconds of the recording review is possible.

The VTR then returns to the paused state.

Note

This function may not be provided by some VTRs. Refer to the instructions for the VTR.

The DXC-D30/D30P docks with the DSR-1/1P to configure the DSR-130/130P DVCAM Digital Camcorder.

The following describes how to shoot using the DSR- 130/130P’s functions.

Using the ClipLink Function

The ClipLink function can be used at all stages from shooting to editing. This function makes editing operations more efficient by automatically recording index pictures (Mark IN point images) that provide a searchable index of recorded scenes, along with other data such as time code and scene numbers.

For concept of the ClipLink function, see the supplied “ClipLink™ Guide”.

1 Dock the DSR-1/1P to the camera head and turn on the power, then perform steps 2 to 10 from “Basic Procedure for Shooting” (page 39).

2 Insert a cassette into the DSR-1/1P and set ClipLink mode to ON by menu setting.

For details of this operation, see the operating instructions for the DSR-1/1P.

The following display appears on the viewfinder screen.

a) For details, see “Basic menu page 7” (page 54).

To record the cassette name/number

Access basic menu page 7 to specify a name or number for the inserted cassette.

For details, see “Basic menu page 7” (page 54).

3 Press the VTR button on the camera head or the lens.

The DSR-1/1P starts recording, and the REC/ TALLY indicator lights in the viewfinder. Meanwhile, the time code at the recording start point (Rec IN) is recorded (HH:MM:SS) in the DSR-1/1P’s internal memory.

4 When a shooting of the scene completes, press the VTR button on the camera head or the lens.

This pauses recording.

To continue recording the next scene, repeat steps 3 and 4. The scene number will be automatically incremented.

To set/clear NG (No Good)

If you press the NG button before you start shooting the next scene, the previous scene will be designated as “NG” (the “NG” display appears in the viewfinder).

Once NG has been set, you can cancel it by pressing the NG button again before you start shooting the next scene (the “NG” display in the viewfinder disappears, which means that the previous scene has been re-designated as “OK”). Each time you press the NG button before starting shooting the next scene, the status of the previous scene toggles between “NG” and “OK”. It is always the last selected status that will take effect and be stored in the cassette memory.

5 To finish recording, press the STOP button on the DSR-1/1P.

This stops recording.

Note

When using the ClipLink function while shooting, if you continue shooting after stopping or if you change the tape’s recording position, your subsequent shots may overwrite and erase the previously recorded ClipLink log data (time codes, scene number, etc.) or index pictures.

To avoid this problem, press the DSR-1/1P’s ClipLink CONTINUE button before restart of shooting.

For details, see the operating instructions for the DSR-1/1P.
