Recording
Some extra frames may be recorded if you stop
recording or switch the card slot while
recording is paused in Frame Rec mode.
Stopping Frame Recording
Set “Setting” of “Frame Rec” of the
CAMERA SET menu to “Off.”
Recording stops and Frame Rec mode is
canceled.
Note
It automatically returns to “Off” when you set the
power switch to OFF, while the “Number of
Frames” setting is maintained.
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 start recording.
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

Quick Motion are forcibly set to “Off.”

Recording to “Off.”
