Chapter 4 Shooting
To stop shooting
Stop the recording.
When shooting ends, the video data stored in
memory up to that point is written to the media.
To exit Interval Rec mode
Do one of the following.
• Set the POWER switch to OFF
• With the camcorder in recording standby mode,
set OPERATION >Rec Function >Interval Rec
in the setup menu to “Off”.
Limitations during recording
• The i.LINK (HDV/DV) connector cannot be
used.
• Regardless of the setting of the F-RUN/SET/
R-RUN switch, the advance mode of the
internal timecode generator is always R-RUN.
• Audio cannot be recorded.
• Recording review is not possible.
• If you press the SLOT SELECT button, the
camcorder completes recording of the specified
number of frames, creates a clip, and switches
to the other media.
• Genlock is not possible.
If power is lost during recording
• If you set the camcorder’s POWER switch to
OFF, the camcorder is powered off
automatically after a few seconds, during which
the media is accessed to record the video and
audio data stored in the camcorder’s memory up
to that point.
• If power is lost because the battery was
removed, the DC power cord was disconnected,
or the power was turned off on the AC adaptor
side, then the video and audio data shot up to
that point may be lost (maximum 10 seconds).
Be careful to avoid this when exchanging the
battery.
When the camcorder is in HD mode and the video
format (see page 51) is set to one of the formats
listed below, you can specify a recording frame
rate that is different from the playback frame rate.
By shooting with a frame rate that differs from the
playback frame rate, you can obtain slow and
quick motion effects that are smoother than low-
speed or high-speed playback of content recorded
at the normal frame rate.
Example
When the video format is HQ 1280/23.98P, you
can obtain quick-motion effects by setting the
frame rate to 1 to 23, and obtain slow-motion
effects by setting the frame rate to 25 to 60.

the same time as the picture cache, Interval Rec, Frame
Rec, or Clip Continuous Rec function. When you

functions are disabled. When you select picture cache,
Frame Rec, Interval Rec, or Clip Continuous Rec

shutter function (viewfinder display “SLS”) function is
enabled. The slow shutter function is disabled when
the Slow & Quick Motion function is enabled.
• Slow & Quick Motion is disabled when OPERATION
>Input/Output >i.LINK I/O in the setup menu is set to
