Recording/Playback 4 Chapter

Notes

The shortest clip that can be recorded is 2 seconds long. Even if recording start and stop operations are performed within 2 seconds, a 2-second clip is recorded.

The maximum number of clips that can be recorded is 300. If the loaded disc already contains 300 clips, recording with the REC button is not possible. (The message “Disc Full!” appears in the time data display.)

During recording, do not turn off the POWER switch on the rear panel or disconnect the power cord. This could cause the clip being recorded to be lost. (See 3-5-7“Handling of Discs When Recording Does Not End Normally (Salvage Function)” on page 47.)

To record essence marks

A shot mark 1 essence mark or shot mark 2 essence mark is recorded if you hold down the F/MARK1 or f/MARK2 button and press the SET button during recording.

Automatic Inclusion of Recorded Clips in Clip Lists

Auto clip list recording is a function for automatically including the clips generated by recording operations in a selected clip list. The updated clip list is saved to the disc. Proceed as follows.

1 Insert a disc.

2 Load a clip list from the disc.

To create a new clip list, load a NEW FILE (empty) clip list.

To add clips to an existing clip list, load that clip list.

For operations, see 5-3-3 “Loading a Clip List From Disc Into the Current Clip List” (page 68).

3 Press the SUBCLIP button, turning it on.

The unit enters auto clip list recording mode, and the number of the clip list which is loaded in the current clip list appears.

4 Press the REC button to start recording.

A clip is generated automatically from the video and audio recorded in the interval from start to stop of recording, and added as a sub clip to the current clip list. When recording stops, the updated clip list is written to disc.

5 Repeat the process of recording and stopping until you have included all the required clips.

To change the registered clip list, repeat step 2 to load the desired clip list.

To exit auto clip list recording mode
