3-2-7 Continuous Recording on the Previous Cut
By assigning the RE-TAKE function to the ASSIGN 1 switch, you can
use the ASSIGN 1 switch to position the tape at the most recent cut,
clear it and record the new cut.
For detailed information, see “4-8-5 Assigning Functions to ASSIGN 1/2
Switches” on page 4-108.
Example: After recording cut 3, clearing cut 3 and recording cut 4 after
cut 2
Continuous recording of a new cut after the cut before the
most recent cut
In the above example, with the camcorder in the recording pause mode
after recording cut 3, press the RET switch on the lens while holding the
ASSIGN 1 switch down.
The camcorder automatically positions the tape at the end point of cut 2
and changes to the recording pause mode.
Record cut 4. Cut 4 is recorded after cut 2.
Note
When pictures consisting of cuts recorded using the RE-TAKE function
are played back by the VTR for professional use, the CHANNEL
CONDITION indicator, which indicates the condition of the played
back signal of the VTR, may be lit in yellow or noise may be added to
the cue audio for the first 2 or 3 seconds. To avoid this, it is
recommended that you make the first part of the cut (in the above
example, cut 4) about 3 seconds longer.
