microphone faders. When all the faders are closed/off, the recording will stop. Once
a fader is open/turned on, the recording will start again.
This mode is a good default option, because it means you will always capture the
action w
hen people are talking, but won’t accidently create very long files.
Tip!
Once Auto mode is on, the recording is done automatically
–
th
e ‘Start’
button is not needed and is inactive.

When the Record Toggle is set to t
he left, the Record mode will be ‘Manual’.
This
means that the recordings need to be started and stopped manually by pressing the
‘Start’ button. Once started, the recording will continue
until you stop it, no matter
the state of the faders.
Tip!
In Manual mode, you need to start and stop the recording yourself by
using the ‘Start’ button below the toggle.
This is useful if you want to capture the action even when no-one is speaking. For
example, you may have an item where a series of clips are played in and the
presenters and guests will react.
When the clips are played in, it would be usual for the microphones to be switched
off, so having Camera One in manual mode at this point would mean that the video
would still be captured.
Warning!
Leaving the system in manual mode can result in long
recordings
–
make sure you do not leave the recording running for too long by
accident.
