Panasonic AJ-P2C016RG - Manual (Page 36)

36 Recording and Playback: Normal Recording
REC START button or VTR button at the lens starts recording of video and sound on the P2 card. A cluster of data that
consists of video and sound generated through a shooting action, together with such added information as meta data, is
called a “clip”.
In the unit, the camera’s recording method is selectable
between the native recording method with the frame rate
unchanged and the normal recording method pulling the
frame rate down to 59.94 or 50 frames.
Images at 24P (23.98P: referred to as 24P) are pulled down
in 2:3 mode. Images at 30P (29.97P: referred to as 30P) are
pulled down in 2:2 mode and recorded as 59.94i (referred to
as 60i). Images at 25P are recorded as 50i with 2:2 pulled
down. 1080i supports 24PA (2:3:3:2 Advanced Pull down) as
well.
AVC-Intra does not support pull-down recording.
Example of 24P Over 60i
This recording method extracts and records effective frames
at the frame rates of the AVC-Intra recording in 1080i.
Even in native recording, the rate for outputting camera
images and playback images is 59.94 or 50 frames that are
pulled down.
Example of 1080/24PN (Native)
Notes
The recording will start from the top frame of a 5-frame
cycle for 24P/24PA recording, a 4-frame cycle for 24P
native recording or a 2-frame cycle for 25P native
recording, respectively. Therefore, the time code may be
discontinued when recording clips continuously in another
mode in which the recording cycle is different.
Even if a P2 card has just been inserted, or the power has
been just turned on, you can start recording using the
internal memory of unit. In this case, recording cannot be
stopped until the P2 card is recognized. If the inserted
card is not recognized as a recordable P2 card, the record
in internal memory is instantly discarded, and the
message “CANNOT REC” is displayed on the viewfinder.
Press the MODE CHECK button to check P2 card status
(displayed in viewfinder).
