PRE-RECORDING function
The internal memory of your unit is capable of storing
several seconds of video and sound data coming from the
camera. This capability can be used to record video and
sound several seconds before either the REC START/
STOP button, REC button on the handle or VTR button at
the lens is pressed to start recording.
To use this function, the menu option PRE REC MODE
must be set to “ON”. The storage duration of the internal
memory can be set from the menu option PRE REC TIME.
PRE REC MODE and PRE REC TIME menu options can
be found in the REC FUNCTION screen on the SYSTEM
SETTING page.
The function of the menu option PRE REC MODE may be
assigned to a desired user button by using any one of the
menu options USER MAIN SW, USER1 SW, or USER2
SW.
These options can be found in the USER SW screen,
which is accessible from the CAM OPERATION page.
These are the options for PRE REC TIME.
1-15 SEC (for DVCPRO 25M or DV)
1-8 SEC (for DVCPRO HD or 50M):
Specify the duration for which data may be recorded
before either the REC START/STOP button, REC
button on the handle or VTR button at the lens is
pressed.

“P-REC” indication when the “PRE REC MODE” menu
option is set to OFF
After recording is stopped, the “P-REC” indication
remains displayed until all video and sound are recorded
on the P2 card, even if the PRE REC MODE menu
option is set to OFF. For details of the [P-REC] display,
refer to [30.PRE RECORDING indication/ SD memory
card remaining free space (when MODE CHECK is
being performed)] in [Viewfinder Screen Status

Immediately after the power is turned on, the menu
option PRE REC TIME is selected and/or the storage
duration is changed, the content in internal memory will
be undefined. In these situations, the video or sound will
not be recorded for the duration specified, even if either
the REC START/STOP button, REC button on the
handle or VTR button at the lens is pressed to start
recording.

A P2 card that has been just inserted takes some time to
recognise. In this situation, video or sound may not be
recorded for the duration specified, even if either the
REC START/STOP button, REC button on the handle, or
VTR button at the lens is pressed to start a recording.
z
The internal memory does not store video or sound
when a playback or recording review is being performed.
For this reason, no video or sound can be recorded
during such operation.

When recording starts, the time code indication (TCG)
may be shown as “HOLD” until the P2 card has been
recognised.
