Normally, a clip is created as an independent file
each time you start and stop recording. However,
this function allows you to start and stop
recording while continuously recording to the
same clip, for as long as the function remains
enabled. This is convenient when you do not want
to generate a large number of short clips, and
when you want to record without worrying about
exceeding the clip limit. It is still easy to find
recording start points, because a Rec Start mark is
recorded at the recording start point each time you
start recording.
For details about the recording format that is
compatible with Clip Continuous Rec, see
“Special Recording and Compatible Formats”
(page 92)
Settings before shooting
Perform the setting with “Clip Continuous Rec”
of the Recording menu in advance.
The Clip Continuous Rec function is enabled and
“Cont” appears on the screen
by setting
“Setting” to “On.”
Notes
• The Clip Continuous Rec function cannot be used at
the same time as the Slow & Quick Motion function.

Quick Motion function is disabled.

To shoot in Clip Continuous Rec mode

When recording starts, the “Cont” indication on
the screen changes to the “

Notes
• During recording or in recording standby mode (when
the “Cont” indication is lit), if you remove the SxS
memory card, the battery, or the power source, the SxS
memory card needs to be restored. Exit Clip
Continuous Rec mode and then remove the SxS
memory card. When the “Cont” indication is flashing
(at 1 flash/s), you can remove the SxS memory card.

two or more seconds.

set “Setting” in “Clip Continuous Rec”
of the Recording menu to “Off.”
