Chapter 4: Basic Operations
Making a Recording
Before you attempt to make a recording, be sure to review the menu parameters and
configure them with the desired settings for format, frames-per-second, encode type,
etc. For detailed information about the menu parameter settings see
"Chapter 5: User
Interface Navigation on page 32"
.
CION has a built-in Record Button on the operator side. With Pak media inserted in CION,
the first depression of the Record Button begins recording and the next depression of the
button stops recording. During recording, the Record Button will illuminate and the Pak
media LED will flash to alert you that recording is in progress. If connected, the Tally Light
on the LANC Collar will also illuminate red and flash.
The LANC Collar may be also be used to perform the start and stop of recording. Like the
built-in record button, the first depression of the record button on the LANC Collar
begins recording and the next depression of the button stops recording.
NOTE:
Either the built-in Record Button or the record button on the LANC Collar may be used to start
or stop recording even if one method was initially used. You may depress the Record Button
on the body and then the record button on the LANC Collar to stop recording for example.
CION alerts you when the Pak media is nearly full with a “Media Low” warning prompt at
15% of the remaining capacity of the media. At 10% of the total capacity of the media,
the “Media Full” alert will appear. Any recordings that have been started will stop once
10% is reached and no further recordings can be performed using this media until it is
formatted or the deletion of some or all clips has been performed. Deleting clips to
produce more than 10% free space will allow recording to resume.
NOTE:
The best practice operation is to back up all of your recordings and then format the media
prior to performing new recordings. This method removes any chance that you will
accidentally perform an unwanted deletion of recordings.
