Picture Cache Recording

Recording
When the Picture Cache function is active, the
camcorder stores the last few seconds of video
captured in the built-in cache memory to permit
you to start recording video on an SxS memory
card from a point before you press the REC
START/STOP button.
The maximum picture cache time is 15 seconds.
Notes
• Picture Cache Recording cannot be set to “On”
simultaneously with Frame Recording, Interval
Recording, or Slow & Quick Motion. When you
set Picture Cache Recording to “On,” Frame
Recording, Interval Recording and Slow &
Quick Motion are forcibly set to “Off.”
• The following operations set Picture Cache
Recording to “Off.”
—Setting Interval Recording to “On”
—Setting Frame Recording to “On”
—Setting Slow & Quick Motion to “On”
—Changing the recording format
• When Picture Cache Recording is “On,” the
time code is always recorded in Free Run mode
regardless of the TC/UB SET menu settings
(page 62).
Before starting Picture Cache Recording, make
the necessary settings on the CAMERA SET
menu in advance.
For details on menu operations, see “Basic Menu
Operations” on page 115.
1 Select “P.Cache Rec” of the CAMERA
SET menu.
2 Set “Setting” to “On.”
The Picture Cache Recording is enabled and
the CACHE REC lamp lights.
The Setting On/Off operation can be
alternatively made by using an assignable
button if you assign the Picture Cache
function to the button.
For function assignment, see “Changing
Functions of the Assignable Buttons” on page
70.
3 Set the time to cache video with
“P.Cache Rec Time.”
You can select the time from among 0-2 sec,
2-4 sec, 4-6 sec, 6-8 sec, 8-10 sec, and 13-15
sec.
(The actual time to trace back to start
recording may vary within the selected time
range depending on conditions.)
4 Exit the menu.
The special recording/operation status indication
block on the screen shows “
zCACHE.” (z in
green).
Starting Picture Cache Recording
Check that the CACHE REC lamp is lit and
press the REC START/STOP button.
Recording begins, and stored video in the cache
memory is written first to the SxS memory card.
The on-screen “
zCACHE” indication changes
the color of
