3
When the recording is to be continued
Press the unit’s VTR START button or VTR button on the lens
once more. Interval recording is now started again.
When recording is to be suspended at any time
Press the STOP button. Recording is now suspended. If the
operation was undertaken with ON (MEMORY) selected as
the INTERVAL REC MODE item setting, the tape may
continue to run since the video signals which were stored in
the memory until the moment when the STOP button was
pressed will be recorded.
When the INTERVAL REC mode 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
INTERVAL REC MODE item setting.
Procedure for shooting in the ONE SHOT mode
of INTERVAL REC
Follow the procedure below for shooting after the settings for
the interval recording mode have been completed.
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 VTR 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. Upon completion
of the recording, “iREC” flashes when AJ-YA903G has
been installed and “i” flashes when it has not been
installed.
The same displays as the ones in the display window also
appear inside the viewfinder, and the TALLY lamp lights
while recording is underway.
When the recording is to be continued
Press the unit’s VTR START button or VTR button on the lens
once more. One-shot recording is now started again.
When the ONE SHOT mode of INTERVAL REC
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
INTERVAL REC MODE item setting.
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
(When AJ-YA903G is installed)
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 AC adapter was cut off
during recording, those shots (up to 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
(When AJ-YA903G is installed)
Bear in mind that if the tape has run out and stops during
interval recording with the use of the memory, those shots
(up to 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.
<Notes>
However, this does not work when the 24P or 24PA mode
is established for the unit's recording signals.
