Notes

• If you change the recording format, the cached

data are cleared and caching is newly started.
Therefore, data cached before you changed the
format cannot be recorded if you start Picture
Cache Recording immediately after changing
the format.

• If you start/stop Picture Cache Recording

immediately after you insert an SxS memory
card, data may not be recorded on the card.

• Picture caching starts when you activate the

Picture Cache function. Therefore, video before
the function is activated cannot be recorded
with Picture Cache Recording.

• Picture Cache Recording is invalid for external

input signal (HDV).

• As picture caching is disabled while an SxS

memory card is being accessed, such as during
playback, Rec Review, or thumbnail screen
display, Picture Cache Recording of such a
period cannot be made.

• Although you can change the “Rec Time”

setting on the menu even while recording is in
progress, any new value becomes valid in such
a case only after recording is stopped.
