Frame-by-frame shooting
Procedure for shooting in the ONE SHOT mode
The INTERVAL REC MODE item is set to ONE SHOT. (The
PAUSE TIME item cannot be set.)
1
After performing the basic operations for shooting and
recording as set forth in “3-2 Basic procedures,” secure
the unit in such a way that it will not move.
2
Press the unit’s REC START button or the VTR button
on the lens. When the set REC TIME has elapsed, the
recording is ended automatically.
As mentioned in “2-7 Display window and its displays,”
“i” flashes when the INTERVAL REC mode is selected.
As soon as recording starts, “iREC” lights.
When the recording ends, “iREC” flashes.
The same displays as the ones in the display window
also appear inside the viewfinder, and the TALLY lamp
lights while recording is underway.

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.
≥ 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 external
DC power supply was cut off during recording, those shots
(Maximum 5 seconds, 150 frames) 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
(Maximum 5 seconds, 150 frames) taken prior to the
moment when the tape stopped may not be recorded.
≥ 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.
≥ 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.
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.
O For ONE SHOT mode, the unit is always in the standby
state regardless of the positions of the VTR SAVE/STBY
switch.
When the ONE SHOT mode of INTERVAL REC is to
be exited
There are two ways to do this.
1) Use the menu operations to set the INTERVAL REC
HOLD item to OFF to turn off the POWER switch of the
unit.
When the INTERVAL REC HOLD item is set to ON, the
interval recording settings are not released even if the
POWER switch on the unit is turned off.
2) Perform a menu operation and select OFF as the
INTERVAL REC MODE item setting.
