Recording Video
• Clips will be split in the following cases.
- When relay recording (
A
36) is activated and the selected card becomes full, the recording will continue as
a separate relay clip on the other card.
- When recording clips on an SDHC card, the video (stream) file in the clip will be split approximately every
4 GB. Even in such case, playback with the camcorder will be continuous.
• Any metadata settings you may have set (
A
108) will be recorded with the clips you record. You can also
have the custom picture settings in use saved with the recorded clips (
A
123).
• The maximum continuous recording time of a single clip is 6 hours. After that, a new clip will be created
automatically and recording will continue as a separate clip.
• If the LOCK switch on the SD card is set to prevent writing, you will not be able to record clips. Change the
position of the LOCK switch in advance.
• Depending on the clip, the camcorder may adjust some controls internally to display a more suitable image on
the LCD screen and viewfinder.
- When the [Gamma] setting in the custom picture file is set to a setting other than [Canon Log 3], the
camcorder will produce an image that approximates the look of video displayed on a compatible monitor
correctly configured.
- When the [Gamma] setting in the custom picture file is set to [Canon Log 3], the camcorder will produce
colors that approximate the look of the BT.709 color space, regardless of the color space used for
recording.
