3-3 Normal Recording
Pressing either the REC START/STOP button, REC button on
the handle or VTR button at the lens starts recording of video
and sound on the P2 card.
A cluster of data that consists of video and sound generated
through a shooting action, together with such added information
as a voice memo, is called a “clip”.
<Note>
Even if a P2 card has just been inserted, or the power has been
just turned on, you can start recording using the internal
memory of the AJ-SPX900E. In this case, recording cannot be
stopped until the P2 card is recognised.
However, if the AJ-SPX900E determines that the inserted P2
card is non-recordable, the data in the internal memory will be
deleted, with the message “CANNOT REC” appearing on the
viewfinder screen. In this case, press the MODE CHECK button
to check the status of the P2 CARD via the P2 CARD STATUS
indication on the viewfinder screen.
3-4 PRE-RECORDING function
The internal memory of your AJ-SPS800 is capable of storing
several seconds of video and sound data coming from the
camera. This capability can be used to record video and sound
several seconds before either the REC START/STOP button,
REC button on the handle or VTR button at the lens is pressed
to start recording.
To use this capability, the storage duration of the internal
memory must be set through the menu option PRE REC TIME.
This option can be found in the <REC FUNCTION> screen on
the SYSTEM SETTING page.
These are the options for PRE REC TIME.
0-15 SEC (for DVCPRO 25M or DV)
0-8 SEC (for DVCPRO 50M):
Specify the duration for which data may be recorded
before either the REC START/STOP button, REC button
on the handle or VTR button at the lens is pressed.
<Notes>
z Immediately after the power is turned on, the menu option
PRE REC TIME is selected and/or the storage duration is
changed, the content in internal memory will be undefined. In
these situations, the video or sound will not be recorded for
the duration specified, even if either the REC START/STOP
button, REC button on the handle or VTR button at the lens is
pressed to start recording.
z A P2 card that has been just inserted takes some time to
recognise. In this situation, video or sound may not be
recorded for the duration specified, even if either the REC
START/STOP button, REC button on the handle, or VTR
button at the lens is pressed to start a recording.
z The internal memory does not store video or sound when a
playback or recording review is being performed. For this
reason, no video or sound can be recorded during such
operation.
z When recording starts, the time code indication (TCG) may be
shown as “HOLD” until the P2 card has been recognised.
