About the QUICK REC START Mode
If the VTR trigger button is pressed immediately after the
videocassette is inserted, the mode becomes the QUICK
REC START mode that enables quick start of recording.
However, when shooting starts in the middle of the tape, a
blank space appears as the new scene will not be linked
smoothly with the previous image.
Also, the time code does not continue. (Some overlap may
also occur.)

CAUTION:
●
The unit enters the STOP mode automatically at TAPE END. If this mode continues for 3 minutes, the mode switches to the
tape protect mode.
☞
See “LONG PAUSE TIME item on the OTHERS (1/2) menu screen” on page 86.
●
If the VTR trigger button is pressed very quickly and repeatedly, or the POWER switch is moved immediately after the trigger
button is pressed, the viewfinder REC indicator lamp may blink and the GY-DV5100 may not enter the record mode. To
remedy this condition set the POWER switch to OFF and wait for 5 seconds or more before turning the power on again.
●
A neat transition to the next recorded scene cannot be guaranteed if a recording is ended by turning the POWER switch or
DC power supply OFF, or by removing the battery pack.
●
Trial-shooting is always recommended before recording important events to confirm the recording is satisfactory.
●
The microphone may pick up the sound of the lens’ iris if the iris is changed abruptly or the iris is manually moved abruptly
during recording. If the sound is found annoying, please purchase an optional microphone in order to move the microphone
away from the lens or ensure that the iris is not changed abruptly during shooting.
