Panasonic HVX200A Operating Instructions - Page 48

Shooting techniques for different targets (continued) P2 Loop recording (LOOP REC) This function is used to record first on one card and then on the next when you have inserted two P2 cards into the card slots. If there is not enough free memory remaining on the second card, recording returns to the first card whose data will then be overwritten. When data is overwritten, the saved clips are deleted, and then the new clips are recorded in their place. 1 Select LOOP under REC FUNCTION. (Page 106) • For menu operations (Page 96) 2 Press the START/STOP button. Recording starts. To stop operation, press the START/STOP button. To release the function, either turn off the unit's power or select NORMAL under REC FUNCTION. • The following displays will appear on the left of the operation status display. While recording is underway: L-REC lights up. While recording is stopped: L-PAUSE flashes. When there is not much free memory: P2 LACK L- flashes. • Use two P2 cards each with a recording capacity of more than one minute. Recording stops when either card is ejected. • This function does not work during IEEE1394 input recording. • The pre-recording function does not work. Shot mark function The marks attached to the thumbnails of clips are called shot marks. On the thumbnail screen monitor you can select only those clips with a shot mark and display them or play them back. During recording, when you press the USER button to which the SHOT MARK function has been allocated, MARK ON appears in the LCD monitor or the viewfinder, and a shot mark is set for the thumbnail of the clip being recorded. If you press the button again, the shot mark is released. You can also set or release the shot marks by performing the thumbnail operations for clips. (Page 66) Text memo recording This function adds text memos at the video points on the clip now being recorded or played back. When you press the USER button to which the INDEX or MEMO function has been allocated, the text memo signal will be recorded at that point. (Page 57) On the thumbnail screen you can select only those clips where text memos have been added, and then either display those clips or play them back. You can record up to a hundred text memos per clip. You will need the latest updated version of P2 Viewer to edit the text memos. (Page 57) • You cannot record text memos during interval recording or one-shot recording. 2-slot continuous recording If you insert two P2 cards into the two card slots, this function allows you to record continuously on the two cards. You can also record continuously on three or more cards by replacing one card while data is being recorded on the other. (Hot swap recording) If you allocate SLOT SEL to a USER button under USER (page 104) on the SW MODE screen, you can switch the slot with the card on which data is to be written using a one-touch operation. • You cannot change slots while recording so do this during recording standby. • Does not support hot swap playback. 48
