Backup recording
The camera images of the camera recorder can
be recorded and their recording can be backed
up automatically on the external component
connected to the DV connector.
OSet the external component control method
using the DV CONTROL item and DV CMD
SEL item on the setting menu OTHER
FUNCTIONS screen. (See page 46)
Bear in mind the following points when
performing backup recording.
OThe menu item settings remain stored in
the memory even after the power has been
turned off. Therefore, if the camera
recorder is used while the settings for
backup recording are still in place, the
images may be overwritten on the tape in
the connected component.
Upon completion of the backup recording,
check the menu item settings before
operating the camera recorder.
OIf another model AG-DVX100 is to be used
as the external component which will
perform the backup recording, select OFF
as the setting for the DV CONTROL item of
the external component, and set the
camera recorder to the VCR mode for use.
OWhen backup recording is to be performed,
operation may not proceed properly if two
or more external components are
connected.
OEnsure that the IEEE 1394 cable used for
the connection is not more than 4.5 meters
long.
OBefore proceeding with backup recording,
establish the status in which the DV signals
can be recorded by the external
component.
OWhen the tape in the camera recorder is
approaching the end during shooting while
backup recording is being performed with
“CHAIN” selected as the setting for the DV
CONTROL item (page 46), recording is
automatically started by the back-up
component which has been set to the
recording standby mode.
