3-8 Normal playback and playback
at different speeds
Black-and-white playback images can be viewed in the
viewfinder by pressing the PLAY button. When a color
monitor is connected to the unit’s VIDEO OUT connector and
an HD color video monitor is connected to its MON OUT
connector at the same time, the down-converted color
playback images from the VIDEO OUT connector can be
viewed on the color monitor while the HD high-quality images
from the MON OUT connector can be viewed on the HD
color video monitor.
≥In order to view these images, the OUTPUT SEL switch on
the side panel must be set to the VTR position.
In addition, when the FF and REW buttons are used, the
images can be played back at different speeds by
establishing the cue mode (PLAY + FF), review mode (PLAY
+ REW), high-speed fast forward playback mode (FF) or
high-speed rewind playback mode (REW).
<Notes>
≥The rec-review function cannot be used unless recording
lasts for one or more seconds.
≥If the VIDEO OUT OUTPUT SEL switch on the side panel
is at the VTR position during the rec-review operation, the
rec-review images are output not only to the viewfinder but
to the video output connector (VIDEO OUT connector) as
well.
Use the menu operations to open the <OUTPUT SEL>
screen from the SYSTEM SETTING page and set the
MONI OUT MODE item to VTR to output video signals of
Rec-review from the MON OUT connector as well.
Bear in mind that if back-up images are being recorded by
a backup VTR that has been connected, these rec-review
images will end up being recorded.
The jump function as a relevant function. For details, refer
to “3-3 Scene-to-scene continuity.”
≥After executing the rec-view operation, the time code at the
time of recording the following data will correspond to the
settings in the REC REVIEW REGEN item (<TC/UB>
screen on the VTR MENU page).
≥When the REC REVIEW REGEN item is turned ON and
the rec-view operation is executed while the TCG switch is
set to the R-RUN position, the time code will always be
regenerated to the value on the tape.
Even if the TCG switch is set to the SET position or the F-
RUN position, the time code will be rewritten to the value
on the tape when the rec-veiw operation is executed after
returning the switch to the R-RUN position. When recording
starts, the unit regenerates the time code to the value on
the tape. Even if the FIRST REC TC item of the menu
(TC/UB screen of the VTR MENU page) is set to PRESET,
the time code will always be regenerated to the value on
the tape by executing the rec-view operation after setting
the TCG switch to the R-RUN position.
3-7 To check the last few seconds of
the recording
(Rec-review function)
When recording is temporarily stopped and the lens RET
button is pressed, the last two seconds of the tape are
automatically rewound, and the playback pictures on this part
of the tape appear on the viewfinder screen. This makes it
possible to check whether recording was performed properly.
After the two seconds of the tape have been played back,
the unit is again set to the recording start standby mode.
If the RET button is held down, a maximum of 10 seconds of
the tape is rewound and played back.
The Rec-review function can be executed by opening the
<SW MODE> screen from the OPERATION page and
setting the RET SW items to the R. REVIEW via menu
operations.
The RET button function can be allocated by opening the
<USER SW> screen from the OPERATION page and
selecting settings for the USER MAIN SW, USER1 SW and
USER2 SW items by performing menu operations.

3-6 To take the previous cut again
(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.
