Chapter 4 Shooting
The REC (recording, red tally) indicator in
the viewfinder and the tally indicator flash
(once per second), and the disc is ejected.
If the message “DISC FULL!” appears
You can continue recording, because video
and audio continue to be saved to internal
memory. Press the EJECT button and
continue to step 3.
Note
Do not stop recording before pressing the EJECT
button. If you stop recording, the unit will stop
storing video and audio in internal memory and this
function will not work.
3 Quickly remove the disc, insert a
formatted blank disc, and close the
cover.
When the disc is loaded, the REC (recording,
red tally) indicator in the viewfinder and the
tally indicator change to lit, and recording
continues.
If the REC indicator and tally indicator
begin flashing rapidly during the disc
exchange
If the indicators change to flashing twice per
second, that means that the unit’s internal
memory is almost full. Complete the disc
exchange quickly.
Note
Recording may not start immediately if you insert
an unformatted disc, or a disc that already contains
a large number of clips. As a result, the video and
audio may be interrupted.
A retake function is available, making it easy to
erase and retake the most recently recorded clip.
To use the retake function, you need to assign it
to one of the ASSIGN 1/3/4 switches or COLOR
TEMP. button in advance.
For details, see “Assigning functions to ASSIGN
switches” on page 178.
Example: After recording clip 3, you want to
delete it and record a new clip 3 after clip 2.
To retake the most recent clip
With recording paused or after the end of a
recording review (see page 77), proceed as
follows.
1 Hold down the button to which the
retake function has been assigned.
While the button is held down, the last frame
of the recorded clip and the message “PUSH
RET FOR CLIP DELETE” appears.
2 In this state, press the RET button.
The message “DELETING LAST CLIP”
appears, and the processing for deleting the
last recorded clip begins.
When the deleting has finished, the message
“LAST CLIP WAS DELETED” appears.
Note
If an operation (other than recording review) which is not
a retake operation is carried out after the last clip has
been recorded, the retake function does not work even
when the camcorder is in the recording pause state.
In this case, the message “RE-TAKE NOT
ALLOWED!” appears. When you want to replace the
last clip with a new clip, delete the clip (see page 112).
Once you carry out a retake operation, the last clip is
deleted even if you do not carry out a recording operation
afterwards.
About the automatic title generation
function
By default, clips on each disc are assigned names
in the range C0001.MXF to C9999.MXF. For this
reason, two discs can contain clips with the same
names. The automatic title generation function
allows you to assign titles to all of the clips on
several discs, which facilitates clip management.
For example, if the titles TITLE00001 to
TITLE00020 are assigned to clips C0001.MXF to
C0020.MXF on disc 1, then the titles
TITLE00021 to TITLE00037 are assigned to
clips C0001.MXF to C0017.MXF on disc 2.
Titles are made up of prefixes, up to 10 characters
in length, and five-digit serial numbers such as
TITLE 00001.
