Chapter 4 Shooting Notes • If you want to turn the video light on before the start of recording, set the camcorder's LIGHT switch to [AUTO]. The video light's switch must also be turned on. When this is done, the video light turns on and off automatically. However, the video light remains lit when the time that it is off is five seconds or less. • If you set the LIGHT switch to [MANUAL] and turn the video light's switch on, the video light is always lit. (It does not go on and off automatically.) The camcorder exits Interval Rec mode when it is powered off, but the number of frames, interval time, and pre-lighting settings are maintained. You do not need to set them again the next time you shoot in Interval Rec mode. To shoot in Interval Rec mode Make the settings and preparations described in "Basic Operations" (page 70), secure the camcorder so that it does not move, and begin shooting. When recording starts, the "Interval" indication in the viewfinder changes from flashing to lit, and "INT REC" and "INT STBY" appear alternatively at the position of the REC indication. The TALLY indicators and the tally indicator on the front panel of the viewfinder light as they do during normal recording. If you are using the pre-lighting function, the video light comes on before recording starts. To stop shooting Stop the recording. When shooting ends, the video data stored in memory up to that point is written to the media. To exit Interval Rec mode Do one of the following. • Set the POWER switch to OFF. • With the camcorder in recording standby mode, set OPERATION >Rec Function >Interval Rec in the setup menu to "Off". Limitations during recording • The i.LINK (HDV/DV) connector cannot be used. • Regardless of the setting of the F-RUN/SET/ R-RUN switch, the advance mode of the internal timecode generator is always F-RUN. • Audio cannot be recorded. • Recording review is not possible. 76 Advanced Operations • If you press the SLOT SELECT button, the camcorder completes recording of the specified number of frames, creates a clip, and switches to the other media. • Genlock is not possible. If power is lost during recording • If you set the camcorder's POWER switch to OFF, the camcorder is powered off automatically after a few seconds, during which the media is accessed to record the video and audio data stored in the camcorder's memory up to that point. • If power is lost because the battery was removed, the DC cable was disconnected, or the power was turned off on the AC adaptor side, then the video and audio data shot up to that point may be lost (maximum 10 seconds). Be careful to avoid this when exchanging the battery. Shooting Stop Motion Animations (Frame Rec Function) The Frame Rec function is useful for shooting stop motion animations, such as animations with puppets or clay figures. Each time that you press the recording start button, the camcorder shoots a specified number of frames and then stops. Frame Rec settings and shooting Notes • The Frame Rec function cannot be used at the same time as the picture cache, Interval Rec, or Slow & Quick Motion function. When you select Frame Rec mode, the picture cache, Interval Rec, and Slow & Quick Motion functions are disabled. When you select picture cache, Interval Rec, or Slow & Quick Motion mode, the Frame Rec function is disabled. • The data stored in memory is cleared when you change the system settings, for example by selecting a different video format. Picture data from before the change is not recorded even if you start recording immediately after the change. The camcorder exits Frame Rec mode automatically. • Frame Rec settings cannot be changed during recording. • Frame Rec is disabled when the following formats are selected. - SP 1440/59.94i or SP 1440/50i, when the output setting is HD and OPERATION >Input/Output >i.LINK I/O in the setup menu is set to Enable
