White/Black balance adjustment to recording completion
REC START/STOP button, REC button on the handle or
VTR button at the lens starts recording of video and sound
on the P2 card. A cluster of data that consists of video and
sound generated through a shooting action, together with
such added information as meta data, is called a “clip”.
Notes
z
In 24P or 24PA mode, recording starts at the beginning
of the 5-frame cycle. Therefore, the time code may not
be continuous if recording immediately follows clips that
were not recorded using 24P or 24PA mode.
z
Even if a P2 card has just been inserted, or the power
has been just turned on, you can start recording using
the internal memory of camera-recorder. In this case,
recording cannot be stopped until the P2 card is
recognised. If the inserted card is not recognized as a
recordable P2 card, the record in internal memory is
instantly discarded, and the message “CANNOT REC”
message is displayed on the viewfinder. Press the
MODE CHECK button to check P2 card status
(displayed in viewfinder).
