When the PLAY/PAUSE button is pressed, the
playback pictures can be monitored in black and white
on the viewfinder screen.
These playback pictures can be monitored in two
other ways.
Rec review
When recording is temporarily stopped and the lens
RET button is pressed, the last two seconds of the
tape are automatically rewound, and the playback
pictures on this part of the tape appear on the
viewfinder screen. This makes it possible to check
whether recording was performed properly.
After the two seconds of the tape have been played
back, the unit is again set to the recording start
standby mode.
If the RET button is held down, a maximum of 10
seconds of the tape is rewound and played back.
<Note>
The rec review function cannot be used unless
recording lasts for one or more seconds.
Color playback
When an HD color monitor is connected to the unit’s
HD SDI OUT connector, color playback pictures can
be monitored.
The playback signals will be output to the viewfinder
even during rewinding (REW) or fast forwarding (FF).
Selecting the audio output of the playback signal and
adjusting the volume are accomplished using the
MONITOR switch control (page 11).
