You can also change the frame rate using the SHTR/F.RATE dial. • "Setting FRAME RATE mode" (Page 51) 3 Press the START/STOP button. This starts recording in the VFR mode (pulldown recording). This mode can be combined with the AVC-I 100/60P (50P), AVC-I 50/60P (50P), and DVCPROHD/60P (50P) recording formats in 720P system mode, and AVC-I 100/60i (50i), AVC-I 50/60i (50i), DVCPROHD/60i (50i) in 1080i system mode. • "Setting FRAME RATE mode" (Page 51) • "SYSTEM SETUP screen" (Page 135) • With AVC-Intra or DVCPRO HD in 1080i, clips are recorded as 60i, 60P (50i, 50P) with pull down information not recorded. • Audio playback is disabled when a frame rate converter is used to extract active frames for over and under-cranking. Note the following about standard VFR recording. • Pre-recording, loop recording, interval recording, one-shot recording, and one-clip recording are not available. • 1394 output is available during recording and recording standby, but not in AVC Intra mode. • Changing Scene Dial position during recording does not change VFR on and off position. • Sound is recorded. • The screen may be distorted when changing the FRAME RATE setting. • Gain is fixed to 0 dB when set to 4 frames or less. Furthermore, AGC, auto iris and ATW do not function and must be operated manually. • Red, blue, or green points may appear on the screen when the frame rate is low. This is not a fault. 22
