Shooting with the DSR-1/1P

Shooting 3 Chapter

The DXC-D35/D35P/D35WS/D35WSP docks with the DSR-1/1P to configure a DVCAM Camcorder. The following describes how to shoot using a DVCAM camcorder.

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 section “What Is ClipLink”(page 102).

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 43).

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 6” (page 60).

To record the cassette name/number

Access basic menu page 6 to specify a name or number for the inserted cassette.

For details, see “Basic menu page 6” (page 60).

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.
