The images shot from when shooting starts
until it is stopped are recorded as one clip.
When recording is paused after a short
period, a small amount of time may be
required after pressing the START/STOP
button to stop recording before writing to the
SD Memory Card is terminated.
This means that operations cannot be
accepted if the START/STOP button is
pressed immediately.
The camera will read information from the
SD Memory Card immediately after the card
is inserted. Press the START/STOP button to
begin recording after PAUSE is displayed in
the operation status display. (Page 70)
The camera’s factory default setting is
1080/60i recording (AG-3DA1P) or 1080/50i
recording (AG-3DA1E).
(To view current setting status: Page 43)
The upper limit for the number of clips which
can be recorded on a single SD Memory
Card is 00. (However, this number may
exceed 00 clips at times such as when
shooting immediately after the POWER/
Mode selector switch has been set to ON.)

Checking photos taken (REC CHECK)
Press the REC CHECK button while recording is
paused. The last two seconds of video and audio
will be played, and the camera will then return to
the recording pause mode.
Only the POWER/Mode selector switch is
operable during REC CHECK.
The REC CHECK images are also recorded
when a device is connected to the camera and
backup images have been recorded.
The REC CHECK function does not work when
PB has been selected as the operation mode.
This function also does not work if the REC
FORMAT has been changed or if the camera
has been set to CAMERA mode after having
switched to PB mode after recording. •
