3-2-4 Recording a Recording Start Marker
You can record a recording start marker at the beginning of the
recording.
Using recording start markers enables quick access to the marked points,
for efficient editing.
For detailed information on recording start marker operations, refer to the manual
supplied with your VTR.
You can set whether or not recording start markers are recorded using
the VTR MODE 5 page of the MAINTENANCE menu.
For detailed information on setting whether or not recording start markers are
recorded, see “Recording markers to the tape” on page 3-15.
3-2-5 Starting a Shoot with a Few Seconds of
Pre-Stored Picture Data (Loop Rec
Function) (When Using an HKDW-703
Extension Board)
By installing the optional HKDW-703 extension board (not supplied) in
the camcorder, the camcorder is able to constantly store a few seconds
(up to 7 seconds for the 59.94I format model or up to 8 seconds for the
50I/25PsF format model) worth of the most current picture and sound
data in the board’s memory.
Thus, when you press the VTR START button or the VTR button on the
lens, the recording starts with the data stored a few seconds before.
Setting the Loop Rec time/Loop Rec mode
To record in Loop Rec mode, you need to turn on Loop Rec mode and
set the picture data storage time (Loop Rec time) using the USER menu.
Loop Rec time
The Loop Rec time and VTR SAVE/STBY switch settings determine the
number of seconds of picture data that will be stored in the HKDW-
703’s memory and recorded when you press the VTR START button or
VTR button on the lens.
