Recording the Recording Start Time Code onto the Memory Label — Tele-File

Chapter 3

Recording and Playback

The following three Tele-File marks are available:

•

OK: Place this mark when you decide the recorded

images are good.

•

NG: Place this mark when you decide the recorded

images are not good.

•

KP: Place this mark when it is hard to decide whether or

not the recorded images are good just after recording, or

when you want to insert a mark between multiple shots.

Recorded Tele-File marks are read by studio-use devices,

logging software, and so on, which support the Tele-File

function. These marks are very helpful for improving the

efficiency of tape editing.

Before recording a Tele-File mark

To use this function, the TELE-FILE MARK function

should be assigned to the ASSIGN 1 switch or TURBO

GAIN button.

For details, see “5-3-5 Assigning Functions to Assignable

Switches” on page 96.

Recording Tele-File marks

1

Start recording and set the camcorder to recording

pause mode by pushing the VTR START button or the

VTR button on the lens.

2

Push the ASSIGN 1 switch or the TURBO GAIN

button to which the TELE-FILE MARK function is

assigned.

The mark to be recorded appears on the viewfinder.

When you record a Tele-File mark for the first time

after you turn on the power of the camcorder, the mark

selected on the menu appears.

For details, see “ Setting the Tele-File mark to be

recorded for the first time after power on” on page 54.

When OK is selected on the menu

This message disappears after 3 seconds. The mark

displayed when it disappears from the viewfinder is

recorded with the recording start time code.

If the mark displayed on the viewfinder is different

from the desired one

Push the ASSIGN 1 switch several times while the

mark is displayed until the appropriate mark appears

on the viewfinder. The mark changes in the order of

OK

t

NG

t

KP

t

ERASE ….

If the display disappears before you select the

appropriate mark

Continue pushing the ASSIGN 1 switch until the

desired mark appears. If the desired mark disappears

from the viewfinder while that mark is displayed, the

mark recorded before will be overwritten and the mark

newly displayed is recorded.

•

Tele-File marks are recorded only when they are

recorded using the ASSIGN 1 switch to which this

function has been assigned.

•

Tele-File marks can be added only to the shot recorded

just before entering the rec pause mode.

When the message “INVALID OPERATION !”

appears

This message appears when you perform one of the

following misoperations:

•

You push the ASSIGN 1 switch before the camcorder

enters the recording pause mode after loading the

cassette.

•

If you turn off the power of the camcorder in recording

pause mode and then turn on the power again, the

camcorder is in the recording pause mode. Then, you

push the ASSIGN 1 switch in this situation.

•

You push the ASSIGN 1 switch in a mode other than

recording pause mode.

Setting the Tele-File mark to be recorded

for the first time after power on

Using the menu, you can select the mark to be recorded in

the first recording pause mode when you press the

ASSIGN 1 switch after you turn on the power of the

camcorder.

This menu setting allows the camcorder to display a mark

when you use the Tele-File mark for the first time after you

turn on the power of the camcorder. When you press the

ASSIGN 1 switch after that, the last selected mark appears.
