Basic Operations

Basic recording can be performed with the
following procedures.
1
Make sure that the necessary devices are
attached to the unit and power is supplied to
them.
2
Set the power switch (page 8) to the ON
position.
The recording screen is displayed on the
viewfinder screen.
3
Load the memory card(s).
If you load two AXS memory card or SxS
memory cards, recording is continued by
automatically switching to the second card
when the first card becomes full.
[Note]
The cards do not switch automatically during
simultaneous recording.
4
Press the REC button (pages 8, 10).
The REC lamp lights and recording begins.
[Note]
If the unit cannot start recording immediately after the
pressing the REC button, the REC lamp flashes. The REC
lamp lights when recording starts.
5
To stop recording, press the REC button again.
Recording stops and the unit enters STBY
(recording standby) mode.
When you stop recording, the video, audio,
and subsidiary data from the start to the end
of the recording are recorded as a single clip.
Clip names
Clip names are recorded using the "Cam ID +
Reel#" format. The clip name is created according
to the following rules.
ˎ When there is already a clip that is stored using ˎ
the "Cam ID + Reel#" name format on the
inserted SxS memory card or AXS memory card,
the new file inherits from the last file.
Example: If "B002C003_XXXXXXXX" exists on the
AXS memory card, the next created clip will be
named "B002C004_XXXXXXXX."
ˎ If the inserted AXS memory card has no files, "1" ˎ
is added to the Reel Number of the clip that was
recorded last.
Example: If you record on empty card 2 after
recording up to "D001CXXX_XXXXXXXX" on
card 1, the next created clip will be named
"D002C001_XXXXXXXX." The clip name is
displayed underlined until recording starts.
ˎ If you set Camera ID and Reel Number using TC/ ˎ
Media category > Clip Naming in the menu, that
information is applied.
Example: If you change Camera ID to "F" and
Reel Number to "001" in the menu for the
AXS memory card that has recorded up to
"E003CXXX_XXXXXXXX," the next clip will
be named "F001CXXX_XXXXXXXX." When
you change Camera ID only, Reel Number is
changed to "001."
Maximum duration of a clip
The maximum single clip length that you can
record to an SxS memory card is 6 hours. The
maximum recording time is 24 hours.
Recording will span clips if the recording time
exceeds the maximum clip duration.
Recording stops when the recording time reaches
24 hours.
