• Timecode is recorded as R-RUN during Slow & Quick
Motion shooting.
• Lower resolution in the vertical direction may be
evident in video recorded at frame rates of 25P or
higher (1080/23.98P), 26P or higher (1080/25P), and
31P or higher (1080/29.97P).
• Slow & Quick Motion can be used only with certain
settings, including the recording format (MPEG
HD422 50 Mbps) and the resolution and system
frequency settings (1080/23.98P, 1080/25P, or 1080/
29.97P). Slow & Quick Motion is disabled
automatically if you change any of these to other
settings.

Even if you run out of free disc capacity while

the Disc Exchange Cache function. This function
enables seamless recording over extended
recording sessions, too long to fit on one disc, by
recording to the unit’s internal memory while you
exchange the disc.
