system frequency and the frame rate appear at the
top of the viewfinder screen. You can change the
frame rate while viewing the display in the
viewfinder by turning the MENU knob.
The Slow & Quick Motion mode setting and the
frame rate are retained even after the camcorder is
powered off.

Recording with the Clip
Continuous Rec Function
Normally, a clip is created as an independent file
each time that you start and stop recording. This
function allows you to start and stop recording
while continuously recording to the same clip, for
as long as the function remains enabled. This is
convenient when you do not want to generate a
large number of short clips, and when you want to
record without worrying about exceeding the clip
limit. It is still easy to find recording start points,
because a Rec Start essence mark is recorded at
the recording start point each time you start
recording.
