3-3 Scene-to-scene continuity
Maintaining continuity from one scene to the next at an
accuracy of +1 frame or less can be assured simply by
pressing the VTR START button or VTR button on the lens
while the unit is in the rec-pause mode.
If the unit is in a mode other than rec-pause, the point at
which the scene-to-scene continuity is to be maintained must
be located before recording is started.
Scene-to-scene continuity during rec-pause
The scene-to-scene continuity timing is located automatically.
However, the time taken until the start of recording differs
depending on the setting of the VTR SAVE/STBY switch.
≥
When the VTR SAVE/STBY switch is set to SAVE,
recording commences about two seconds after the VTR
START button is pressed.
≥ When the VTR SAVE/STBY switch is set to STBY,
recording commences as soon as the VTR START button is
pressed.
