Recording and Playback: Variable Frame Rate (VFR) Recording Function
Recording and Playback
This unit can shoot at a lower frame rate (undercrank) or
higher frame rate (overcrank) in the 720P mode. The native
(PN) recording mode or standard (OVER) recording can be
selected.
1 Open the <SYSTEM MODE> screen from the SYSTEM
SETTING page using the menu.
Set SYSTEM MODE to “720-59.94P (60P/50P)”, REC
FORMAT to “AVC-I 100/24PN”, and VFR to “ON”.
Set FRAME RATE suitable for desired way of shooting.
Any frame from 1 (1P) to 60 (60P) can be selected.
2 Press the REC START/STOP button to begin recording
in the VFR mode.
It is possible to select a combination of AVC-I 100, AVC-I 50,
DVCPROHD, 30P, 25P and 24P as recording formats. For
more details, refer to [Recording formats and output
connector signal formats] (page 47) and [SYSTEM
SETTING] (page 165).
Notes
When SYSTEM MODE is set to “720-59.94P”, setting
REC FORMAT to “DVCPROHD/30PN”, “AVC-I 100/30PN”
or “AVC-I 50/30PN” results in operation at DVCPROHD/
29.97PN, AVC-I 100/29.97PN or AVC-I 50/29.97PN
respectively. Setting REC FORMAT to “DVCPROHD/
24PN” or “AVC-I 50/24PN” results in operation at
DVCPROHD/23.98PN or AVC-I 50/23.98PN.
Similarly, when SYSTEM MODE is set to “720-60P”,
setting REC FORMAT to “DVCPROHD/24PN”, “AVC-I
100/24PN” or “AVC-I 50/24PN” results in operation at
DVCPROHD/24PN, AVC-I 100/24PN or AVC-I 50/24PN
respectively.
Note the following when native recording with VFR.
It is not possible to switch between P2 cards.
It is not possible to use PRE RECORDING, LOOP REC,
INTERVAL REC and proxy recording.
There is no 1394 output when recording or waiting to
record.
During recording, it is not possible to switch VFR “ON”/
“OFF”.
Audio is not recorded.
The time code is fixed by the Rec run.
Thumbnail screens may be produced one frame later
than in the video recorded to the P2 card. It should be
noted that this does not indicate a fault.
1 Open the <SYSTEM MODE> screen from the SYSTEM
SETTING page using the menu.
Set SYSTEM MODE to “720-59.94P (50P)”, REC
FORMAT to “AVC-I 100/60P”, and VFR to “ON”.
Set FRAME RATE suitable for desired way of shooting.
Any frame from 1 (1P) to 60 (60P) can be selected.
2 Press the REC START/STOP button to begin recording
in the VFR mode (OVER 60P).
It is possible to select a combination of AVC-I 100, AVC-I 50,
DVCPROHD, 60P and 50P as recording formats. For more
details, refer to [Recording formats and output connector
signal formats] (page 47) and [SYSTEM SETTING]
(page 165).
Recording a fast-moving subject with the frame rate set to a
low value using the 60P (or 50P) recording format produces
images which can be played back to achieve a flow effect.
Notes
When SYSTEM MODE is set to “720-59.94P”, setting
REC FORMAT to “DVCPROHD/60P”, “AVC-I 100/60P” or
“AVC-I 50/60P” results in operation at DVCPROHD/
59.94P, AVC-I 100/59.94P or AVC-I 50/59.94P
respectively. Setting REC FORMAT to “DVCPROHD/
24PN” or “AVC-I 50/24PN” results in operation at
DVCPROHD/23.98PN or AVC-I 50/23.98PN.
When active frames are extracted using the frame
converter to perform overcrank or undercrank recording, it
is not possible to play back audio.
Note the following for standard VFR recording.
It is not possible to switch between P2 cards.
It is possible to combine standard VFR recording with
PRE RECORDING, LOOP REC, INTERVAL REC or
proxy recording.
There is 1394 output when recording or waiting to
