Special Recording Modes
Special Recording Modes
The camera features 4 special recording modes.
Interval recording ([Interval Rec]): A pre-defined number of frames at a pre-defined interval will be recorded
automatically. This mode is suitable for recording subjects with little movement, such as natural surroundings or
plants.
Frame recording ([Frame Rec]): A pre-defined number of frames will be recorded every time you press the
START/STOP button. This mode is suitable for recording stop motion animation.
Slow & fast motion recording ([Slow & Fast Motion]): This mode allows you to change the shooting frame rate to
achieve a slow motion or fast motion effect during playback.
Pre-recording ([Pre Rec]): The camera will start recording approximately 3 seconds before you press the START/
STOP button. This is especially useful when it is difficult to predict when to start recording. Pre-recording is
available only in MXF mode.
Interval Recording Mode
Set the interval and number of frames in advance. Sound is not recorded
in this mode. During 4K and 2K modes, MXF clips will not be recorded
simultaneously on a CF card even if a card is inserted in the camera.
