This may happen also when the processing capacity of the computer is insufficient. • When the data dropping occurs, the number of data droppings occurred in a file will be displayed in the [Information] tab of the [Camera Control] window. When recording in DV, a number of dropped frames and when recording in HDV, a number of dropped blocks are displayed. Dropping one block in HDV recording corresponds to dropping from a few frames to up to 20 frames in DV recording. • When the data dropping occurs, [ ] changes to [ ] for a few seconds. • When the file is created on the hard disk after recording, you can check the scenes where data dropping occurred under [Recording history]. • If the [CPU usage] displayed in the [Performance Check] window ( 3-19) shows 100%, change the software settings using one or more of followings to reduce the rate.
