Chapter 4 Shooting - Press the REC START button (see page 16). - Press the VTR button on the lens (see page 27). - Turn on the assignable switch to which the Rec function has been assigned (see page 132). During recording, the TALLY indicators, the tally indicator on the front panel of the viewfinder, and the REC indication on the viewfinder screen light. Adjust the zoom and focus as required. Notes • Never remove the battery pack while the camcorder is recording (while an ACCESS lamp is lit). 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. 10 To stop recording, perform one of the operations listed in step 9. 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 9 and 10. 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 (see page 131). 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. You can use MAINTENANCE >Camera Config >Rec Review in the setup menu (see page 123) to change the playback time. 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. 11 Repeat steps 9 and 10 to continue recording. With each repetition, another clip is created on the memory card. Clip 1 Clip 2 Clip 3 Notes • You cannot resume recording for about one second after stopping recording. • The maximum number of clips that can be recorded on one memory card is 600. Even if the memory card has enough free capacity to record more clips, when 600 clips have been recorded, no further recording is possible. Clip file sizes The XDCAM EX-series products limit the maximum file size of an HD clip to 4 GB and that of an SD clip to 2 GB. If you continue recording for an extended period, recorded materials may be segmented into multiple files, depending on the file size (the maximum number of partitions is 99). The camcorder regards continuous recording as one clip even if it has been segmented into multiple files. Clip names Eight-character clips names (consisting of a fourcharacter prefix and a four-digit number) are generated automatically for clips recorded by this camcorder. Example: ABCD0001 You can also use OPERATION >Clip >Title Prefix (see page 109) in the setup menu to set the clip name prefix to a user-specified string of characters (four to 46 characters in length). (A user-specified prefix cannot be changed after recording.) The four-digit number at the end of clip names is generated automatically, counting up in order as clips are recorded. Playing Recorded Clips When the camcorder is in standby (STBY) mode, you can play all or part of the most recently recorded clip (see page 71). Basic Operations 71
