Recording and Playback Variable Frame Rate (VFR) Recording Function This unit can shoot at a lower frame rate (undercrank) or higher frame rate (overcrank) in the 720P mode. The native (PN) recording mode or standard (OVER) recording can be selected. Native VFR Recording 1 Open the screen from the SYSTEM SETTING page using the menu. Set SYSTEM MODE to "720-59.94P (60P/50P)", REC FORMAT to "AVC-I 100/24PN", and VFR to "ON". Set FRAME RATE suitable for desired way of shooting. Any frame from 1 (1P) to 60 (60P) can be selected. 2 Press the REC START/STOP button to begin recording in the VFR mode. It is possible to select a combination of AVC-I 100, AVC-I 50, DVCPROHD, 30P, 25P and 24P as recording formats. For more details, refer to [Recording formats and output connector signal formats] (page 47) and [SYSTEM SETTING] (page 165). Notes When SYSTEM MODE is set to "720-59.94P", setting REC FORMAT to "DVCPROHD/30PN", "AVC-I 100/30PN" or "AVC-I 50/30PN" results in operation at DVCPROHD/ 29.97PN, AVC-I 100/29.97PN or AVC-I 50/29.97PN respectively. Setting REC FORMAT to "DVCPROHD/ 24PN" or "AVC-I 50/24PN" results in operation at DVCPROHD/23.98PN or AVC-I 50/23.98PN. Similarly, when SYSTEM MODE is set to "720-60P", setting REC FORMAT to "DVCPROHD/24PN", "AVC-I 100/24PN" or "AVC-I 50/24PN" results in operation at DVCPROHD/24PN, AVC-I 100/24PN or AVC-I 50/24PN respectively. Note the following when native recording with VFR. - It is not possible to switch between P2 cards. - It is not possible to use PRE RECORDING, LOOP REC, INTERVAL REC and proxy recording. - There is no 1394 output when recording or waiting to record. - During recording, it is not possible to switch VFR "ON"/ "OFF". - Audio is not recorded. - The time code is fixed by the Rec run. - Thumbnail screens may be produced one frame later than in the video recorded to the P2 card. It should be noted that this does not indicate a fault. Standard VFR Recording (Pull-down Recording) 1 Open the screen from the SYSTEM SETTING page using the menu. Set SYSTEM MODE to "720-59.94P (50P)", REC FORMAT to "AVC-I 100/60P", and VFR to "ON". Set FRAME RATE suitable for desired way of shooting. Any frame from 1 (1P) to 60 (60P) can be selected. 2 Press the REC START/STOP button to begin recording in the VFR mode (OVER 60P). It is possible to select a combination of AVC-I 100, AVC-I 50, DVCPROHD, 60P and 50P as recording formats. For more details, refer to [Recording formats and output connector signal formats] (page 47) and [SYSTEM SETTING] (page 165). Recording a fast-moving subject with the frame rate set to a low value using the 60P (or 50P) recording format produces images which can be played back to achieve a flow effect. Notes When SYSTEM MODE is set to "720-59.94P", setting REC FORMAT to "DVCPROHD/60P", "AVC-I 100/60P" or "AVC-I 50/60P" results in operation at DVCPROHD/ 59.94P, AVC-I 100/59.94P or AVC-I 50/59.94P respectively. Setting REC FORMAT to "DVCPROHD/ 24PN" or "AVC-I 50/24PN" results in operation at DVCPROHD/23.98PN or AVC-I 50/23.98PN. When active frames are extracted using the frame converter to perform overcrank or undercrank recording, it is not possible to play back audio. Note the following for standard VFR recording. - It is not possible to switch between P2 cards. - It is possible to combine standard VFR recording with PRE RECORDING, LOOP REC, INTERVAL REC or proxy recording. - There is 1394 output when recording or waiting to record. - During recording, it is not possible to switch VFR "ON"/ "OFF". - Audio is recorded. 37 Recording and Playback: Variable Frame Rate (VFR) Recording Function
