Recording and Playback: PRE RECORDING function
Recording and Playback
The internal memory of your unit 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 button
or VTR button at the lens is pressed to start recording. To
use this function, the menu option PRE REC MODE must be
set to “ON”. The storage duration of the internal memory can
be set from the menu option PRE REC TIME. PRE REC
MODE and PRE REC TIME menu options can be found in
the <REC FUNCTION> screen on the SYSTEM SETTING
page.
The function of the menu option PRE REC MODE may be
assigned to a desired user button by using any one of the
menu options USER MAIN SW, USER1 SW, USER2 SW,
MARKER SEL, or TEXT MEMO SW.
These options can be found in the <USER SW> screen on
the CAM OPERATION page.
The following is the option for PRE REC TIME.
1-8SEC (for AVC-Intra100/50 or DVCPRO HD)
Specify the duration for which data may be recorded before
either the REC START button or VTR button at the lens is
pressed.
Notes
“P-REC” indication when the PRE REC MODE menu
option is set to “OFF”
After recording is stopped, the “P-REC” indication remains
displayed until all video and sound are recorded on the P2
card, even if the PRE REC MODE menu option is set to
“OFF”. For details of the “P-REC” display, refer to
[28. INTERVAL REC/PRE RECORDING indication/SD
memory card remaining free space] (page 83) in
[Viewfinder Status Indication Layout].
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
button or VTR button at the lens is pressed to start
recording.
A P2 card that has been just inserted takes some time to
recognize. In this situation, video or sound may not be
recorded for the duration specified, even if either the REC
START button or VTR button at the lens is pressed to start
a recording.
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.
When recording starts, the time code (TCG) display may
not update until the unit recognizes the P2 card.
During native VFR recording and INTERVAL REC
operation, the PRE RECORDING is not available.
