Notes
• Never remove the battery pack while the
camcorder is recording (while the ACCESS lamp
on the right-side panel is lit in blue and the
ACCESS lamp in the card slot section is lit in
orange). Doing so risks the loss of several
seconds of data before the recording was
interrupted, because internal processing will not
end normally.
• The playback control buttons (EJECT, F REV, F
FWD, NEXT, PREV, PLAY/PAUSE, STOP) do
not function during recording.

operations listed in step

The TALLY indicators, the tally indicator on
the front panel of the viewfinder, and the
REC indication on the viewfinder screen go
out, and camcorder enters recording standby
(STBY) mode.
A clip is created from the video and audio
data and the metadata recorded between steps

To check the recording (recording review)
With the camcorder in recording standby
(STBY) mode, turn on the assignable switch
to which the Rec Review function or the
Freeze Mix function has been assigned

The camcorder plays the entire last clip, or
the last few seconds of that clip (3 seconds or
10 seconds), and then returns to standby
mode.
When the Rec Review function is assigned to
the RET button on the lens, you can also
conduct a review by using the RET button.
