Reviewing A Recording (Rec Review); Self Portrait Mode - Sony PXW-FS7 Operating Instructions Manual

• When Picture Cache Rec is on, the timecode is
recorded in Free Run mode regardless of the setting in
the TC/UB menu (page 76).
Configuring before shooting
Configure Picture Cache Rec (page 77) in the
Recording menu before shooting.
You can also assign the Picture Cache Rec
function to an assignable button (page 42) and
switch Picture Cache Rec on/off using the button.
When configured, the z (green) indicator
appears in the viewfinder (page 13).
Picture cache recording
When you press the record button, recording
starts and video is written to XQD memory cards
starting from the video stored in the cache
memory.
To cancel Picture Cache Rec
Turn off Picture Cache Rec >Setting in the
Recording menu or press an assignable button
assigned with the Picture Cache Rec function.
Notes
• Changing the recording format clears the video in
cache memory stored up to that point, and starts
caching new video. Consequently, picture cache
recording of pictures before changing format is not
possible, even if you start recording immediately after
changing format.
• If Picture Cache Rec is turned on/off immediately after
inserting an XQD memory card, cache data may not be
recorded on the card.
• Video is stored in cache memory when the cache
recording function is turned on. Video prior to the
function being turned on is not cached.
• Video is not stored in cache memory while an XQD
memory card is being accessed, such as during
playback, Rec Review, or thumbnail screen display.
Picture cache recording of video during that interval is
not possible.
• You can change the cache recording time setting using
the menu while recording is in progress, but the new
value does not come into effect until after recording
ends.
