ing

The Frame Recording function is especially
effective for clay animation recording.
The specified number of frames are recorded
intermittently when you press a recording start
button.
It is recommended to fix the camcorder to a tripod
or equivalent and use the IR Remote Commander
to start/stop recording rather than pressing a
recording start button of the camcorder.

Notes

• Frame Recording cannot be set to “On”

simultaneously with Interval Recording, Picture
Cache Recording or Slow & Quick Motion.
When you set Frame Recording to “On,”
Interval Recording, Picture Cache Recording
and Slow & Quick Motion are forcibly set to
“Off.”

• No audio recording is executed in Frame

Recording.

• Frame Recording cannot be made if a setting

which includes “HDV” or “DVCAM” is
selected with “SDI/HDMI/i.LINK I/O Select”
of the VIDEO SET menu.

set to “SP 1440/23.98P.”
