Playing Recorded Clips - Sony PXW-X500 Manual

9
Do one of the following to start
recording.
- Press the REC START button (see
page 13).
- Press the VTR button on the lens.
- Turn on the assignable switch to which the
Rec function has been assigned (see
page 164).
During recording, the TALLY indicators, the
tally indicator on the front panel of the
viewfinder, and the REC indicator on the
viewfinder screen light. Adjust the zoom and
focus as required.
Notes
• Never remove the battery pack while the
camcorder is recording (while the ACCESS
indicator on the right-side panel is lit in blue and
the ACCESS indicator in the card slot section is
lit in orange). Doing so risks the loss of several
seconds of data before the recording was
interrupted, because internal processing will not
end normally.
• The playback control buttons (EJECT, F REV, F
FWD, NEXT, PREV, PLAY/PAUSE, STOP) do
not function during recording.
• If XAVC, MPEG HD, MPEG IMX, or DVCAM
is selected for the video format, you can start
recording immediately when the camcorder is
turned on. However, this is not supported when a
special recording function (excluding Picture
Cache mode) is running, the timecode is set to
REGEN, or when using planning metadata.

To stop recording, perform one of the
operations listed in step 9.
The TALLY indicators, the tally indicator on
the front panel of the viewfinder, and the
REC indicator on the viewfinder screen go
out, and camcorder enters recording standby
(Stby) mode.
A clip is created from the video and audio
data and the metadata recorded between steps
9 and 10.
To review the recording (rec review)
With the camcorder in recording standby
mode, press an assignable switch assigned
with the Rec Review function to play back
the last two seconds of the clip at normal
speed. Press and hold an assignable switch
assigned with the Rec Review function for
one second or longer to start play back from
the frame two seconds prior to the last frame
at four times speed in the reverse direction.
Then, release the button to play the clip from
that point at normal speed. The clip is played
to the end, then Rec Review ends and the
camcorder returns to Stby mode.
When the Rec Review function is assigned to
the RET button on the lens, you can also
conduct a review by using the RET button.

on the memory card.

Notes
• You cannot resume recording for about one second
after stopping recording.
• The maximum number of clips that can be recorded on
one memory card is 600. Even if the memory card has
enough free capacity to record more clips, when 600
clips have been recorded, no further recording is
possible.
Clip names
Eight-character clips names (consisting of a four-
character prefix and a four-digit number) are
generated automatically for clips recorded by this
camcorder.
Example: ABCD0001
You can also use Operation >Clip >Title Prefix in
the setup menu to set the clip name prefix to a
user-specified string of characters (four to 46
characters in length). (A user-specified prefix
cannot be changed after recording.)
The four-digit number at the end of clip names is
generated automatically, incrementing as clips
are recorded.

Playing Recorded Clips

When the camcorder is in standby (Stby) mode,
