Shooting Dual Rec (continued) Special Recording Note : ● To perform recording in the Dual Rec mode, it is recommended that you start recording by making use of two cards with the same capacity and from the formatted state. ● You can combine the use of the Dual Rec mode with a special recording mode. While in the Dual Rec mode, you can also set [Rec Mode] to ANormalB, APre RecB, AClip ContinuousB, or AVariable FrameB. ( A Page 58 [Special Recording]) ( A Page 76 [Rec Mode]) ● When both the slots are loaded with recordable cards, the Dual Rec (simultaneous recording) operation can be performed. If a recordable media is only loaded to one of the slots, you can also start recording with one card. ● In the Dual Rec mode, continuous recording by switching from one slot to another cannot be performed. Continuous recording will not be performed if a recordable media is loaded to a slot after recording to the other slot has started. ● When recording to one slot is in progress with the recorder set to the Dual Rec mode, loading a recordable media to the other slot does not enable the Dual Rec operation. To perform the Dual Rec operation, stop recording temporarily (excluding pausing recording in the Clip Continuous Rec mode), and start again. ● When one of the cards is accidentally removed while the Dual Rec operation is in progress, recording to the card in the other slot will continue. However, repair of the accidentally removed card by the recovery function may fail. ● If an error occurs on one of the cards in the two slots during recording, recording of the erroneous card stops, while that of the other card continues. ● Operations on clips recorded in the Dual Rec mode, such as clip deletion in the Media mode or appending of OK marks, can only be performed on the card in the selected slot. Besides the normal recording mode, three special recording methods are available in this camera recorder. They are Pre Rec, Clip Continuous Rec, and Variable Frame Rec. Select the mode from [Rec Mode] in the [Record Set] menu. * Set using [Main Menu] B [Record Set] B [Rec Mode]. (A Page 76) Pre Rec By setting the number of seconds in the [Pre Rec Time], you can start recording video and audio before actual recording starts based on the Pre Rec Time setting. When starting actual recording while the camera recorder is in Recording Standby (STBYP) mode, you can start recording a few seconds earlier based on the [Pre Rec Time] setting. Using Pre Rec allows you to record a complete event without missing the initial scenes even if you start the recording late. * Pre Rec Time can be set to A5secB, A10secB, or A20secB in [Main Menu] B [Record Set] B [Pre Rec Time].
