Recording Recording begins, and stored video in the cache memory is written first to the SxS memory card. The on-screen "zCACHE" indication changes the color of z to red. Stopping Picture Cache Recording Press the REC START/STOP button on the handle or the grip. Canceling Picture Cache function Set "Setting" of "P.Cache Rec" of the CAMERA SET menu to "Off" or press the assignable button to which you assigned the Picture Cache function. Notes • If you change the recording format, the cached data are cleared and caching is newly started. Therefore, data cached before you changed the format cannot be recorded if you start Picture Cache Recording immediately after changing the format. • If you start/stop Picture Cache Recording immediately after you insert an SxS memory card, data may not be recorded on the card. • Picture caching starts when you activate the Picture Cache function. Therefore, video before the function is activated cannot be recorded with Picture Cache Recording. • Picture Cache Recording is invalid for external input signal (HDV). • As picture caching is disabled while an SxS memory card is being accessed, such as during playback, Rec Review, or thumbnail screen display, Picture Cache Recording of such a period cannot be made. • Although you can change the "Rec Time" setting on the menu even while recording is in progress, any new value becomes valid in such a case only after recording is stopped. Slow & Quick Motion Recording When the camcorder is in HD mode and one of the following video formats is selected (page 37), you can set a frame rate for recording different from that for playback: NTSC Area/NTSC (J) Area HQ 1920/29.97P, HQ 1920/23.98P, HQ 1280/ 59.94P, HQ 1280/29.97P, HQ 1280/23.98P PAL Area HQ 1920/25P, HQ 1280/50P, HQ 1280/25P By recording at a different frame rate, you can obtain a smoother slow-motion or quick-motion effect than with slow-speed or fast-speed playback of a material recorded at the normal recording speed. Example When the video format is HQ 1280/23.98P, recording with a frame rate between 1 and 23 fps provides a quick-motion effect in playback, and recording with a frame rate between 25 and 60 fps provides a slow-motion effect in playback. Notes • Slow & Quick Motion recording cannot be activated in SD mode. • Slow & Quick Motion recording cannot be made if a setting which includes "HDV" or "DVCAM" is selected with "SDI/HDMI/ i.LINK I/O Select" of the VIDEO SET menu. • When you set Slow & Quick Motion to "On," Frame Recording, Interval Recording, and Picture Cache Recording are forcibly set to "Off." However, Slow & Quick Motion cannot be activated while Frame Recording, Interval Recording, or Picture Cache Recording is in progress. • No audio recording is made if the recording frame rate is set to a value different from the playback frame rate. • The timecode is recorded in Rec Run mode (page 51) during Slow & Quick Motion recording. 64 Slow & Quick Motion Recording
