Chapter 3 Recording and playback

When the recording is to be continued
Press the unit’s REC START button or VTR button on the lens
once more. One-shot recording is now started again.
When the ONE SHOT mode of INTERVAL REC is to
be exited
There are two ways to do this.
1) Set the unit’s POWER switch to OFF.
2) Perform a menu operation and select OFF as the
INTERVAL REC MODE item setting.
Checkpoints common to all INTERVAL REC modes
≥ Sound-related
Whether the sound is to be recorded or not during interval
recording is set by setting ON or OFF for the AUDIO REC
item on the <REC FUNCTION> screen.
≥ Tape function button-related
During interval recording, all the tape function buttons
(EJECT, REW, FF and PLAY/STILL) except STOP do not
work.
≥ The PRE RECORDING function does not work in the
INTERVAL REC mode.
≥ Starting recording quickly when unit is in pause mode
Selecting REC as the setting for one of either USER MAIN
or USER1/USER2 buttons in advance enables quick start
recording during pause mode when the set button is
pressed. Measurement of pause mode time is continued
even after quick start recording.
≥ When the unit’s power was turned off during recording
If the unit’s POWER switch was set to the OFF position
during interval recording with the use of the memory, the
tape will continue to run in order to record the video signals
which were stored in the memory until the moment when
the POWER switch was set to OFF, and then the power will
automatically go off.
If the battery was removed, the DC cable was disconnected
or the power supplied through the AC adapter was cut off
during recording, those shots (up to 5 seconds) taken prior
to the moment concerned may not be recorded. Bear this
in mind when the battery is to be replaced.
≥ When the tape has run out during recording
Bear in mind that if the tape has run out and stops during
interval recording with the use of the memory, those shots
(up to 5 seconds) taken prior to the moment when the tape
stopped may not be recorded.
≥ If a PLAY, FF or REW operation is performed after one-shot
recording, the operation will be performed after the images
remaining in the memory are written on the tape.
While the images are being recorded, the LED of the button
pressed (for play, FF or REW operation) will flash.
≥ Concerning the time code display
When recording has been started, the time code (TCG)
display may remain in the hold status until it is possible for
the time code (TCR) on the tape to be read.
≥ After turning the power ON, inserting a tape, or pressing
PLAY/FF/REW, the first recording made with INTERVAL
REC (including ONE SHOT mode) will be about 1 second
longer than the time set in the REC TIME menu option.
This is to guarantee the quality of consecutive recordings
and is not a defect.
3-6 RETAKE function
The RETAKE function ensures continuity with the previous cut
on the tape when shooting is resumed.
It is set by opening the <REC FUNCTION> screen from the
SYSTEM SETTING page and selecting ON as the setting for
the RETAKE MODE item by performing menu operations.
The RETAKE MODE item settings are described below.
ON: The retake operation is performed when the RET button
on the lens is pressed while the MODE CHECK button
is held down.
OFF: The RETAKE function does not operate.
If, when the rec-pause mode is established upon completion
of the recording or the stop mode is established afterwards,
the RET button on the lens is pressed while the MODE
CHECK button is held down, the tape will be rewound to the
approximate start point (a position advanced by 10 or so
frames from the recording start) of the final image that was
last recorded, and the rec-pause mode will be established.
If there is some leeway in the shooting time and a “NG”
condition has been clearly identified, recording can be started
from this point, and the cut in the NG area will be deleted.
This function is particularly useful for cutting the amount of
time taken for copying onto work tapes and other such
economical operations.
When the RETAKE function is to be exited
There are two ways to do this.
1) Set the unit’s POWER switch to OFF.
2) Perform a menu operation and select OFF as the
RETAKE MODE item setting.
