and the tally indicator on the front panel of the

Limitations during recording
• Regardless of the setting of the F-RUN/SET/R-
RUN switch, the advance mode of the internal
timecode generator is always R-RUN.
• Audio cannot be recorded when the recording
and playback frame rates differ.
• Reviewing the recording (Rec Review) is not
possible.
• If you change the recording frame rate to a value
faster than the current shutter speed, the shutter
speed is changed to the slowest value for which
shooting is possible.
Example:
If the frame rate is 32 and the shutter
speed is
1
/
40
, and you change the frame rate to
55, then the shutter speed is changed to
1
/
60
.
It is not possible to select a shutter speed that is
slower than the recording frame rate.
• Genlock is not possible.
Normally, a clip is created as an independent file
each time that you start and stop recording. But
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 essence mark is recorded at
the recording start point each time you start
recording.
This function is enabled when the camcorder is
set to any of the following video formats
XAVC-I
XAVC-L
MPEG HD 422
