Checkpoints common to all INTERVAL REC modes
≥ Sound-related
Whether the sound is to be recorded or not during interval
recording is set by setting ON or OFF for the AUDIO REC
item on the <REC FUNCTION> screen.
≥ Tape function button-related
During interval recording, all the tape function buttons
(EJECT, REW, FF and PLAY/STILL) except STOP do not
work.
≥ Starting recording quickly when unit is in pause mode
Selecting REC as the setting for one of either USER MAIN
or USER1/USER2 buttons in advance enables quick start
recording during pause mode when the set button is
pressed. Measurement of pause mode time is continued
even after quick start recording.
≥ When the unit’s power was turned off during recording
If the unit’s POWER switch was set to the OFF position
during interval recording with the use of the memory, the
tape will continue to run in order to record the video signals
which were stored in the memory until the moment when
the POWER switch was set to OFF, and then the power will
automatically go off.
If the battery was removed, the DC cable was disconnected
or the power supplied through the AC adapter was cut off
during recording, those shots (up to 5 seconds) taken prior
to the moment concerned may not be recorded. Bear this
in mind when the battery is to be replaced.
≥ When the tape has run out during recording
Bear in mind that if the tape has run out and stops during
interval recording with the use of the memory, those shots
(up to 5 seconds) taken prior to the moment when the tape
stopped may not be recorded.
≥ If a PLAY, FF or REW operation is performed after one-shot
recording, the operation will be performed after the images
remaining in the memory are written on the tape.
While the images are being recorded, the LED of the button
pressed (for play, FF or REW operation) will flash.
≥ Concerning the time code display
When recording has been started, the time code (TCG)
display may remain in the hold status until it is possible for
the time code (TCR) on the tape to be read.
