Clip Continuous Recording (UDF
Only)
Clips are normally created individually for each
time you start and stop recording, but you can also
continue recording to a single clip regardless of
the number of times you start and stop recording
by using the Clip Continuous Recording function,
which will add recordings to the same clip until
the function is disabled or turned off.
This is convenient for when you do not want to
create a large number of short clips, or when you
do not want to be restricted by a maximum
number of clips.
A recording start mark is added to each point at
which you resume recording, making it easy to
search for each point.
46 Useful Functions
Preparatory settings
Before starting Clip Continuous Recording, make
the necessary settings to "Clip Cont. Rec" (page
78) in the CAMERA SET menu in advance.
When you set "Setting" to "On," the Clip
Continuous Recording function is enabled, and
"CONT" appears on the screen (page 16).
You can also assign "Clip Cont. Rec" to an
assignable button (page 45), and set "Setting" to
"On"/"Off" by pressing the button.
Notes
• Clip Continuous Recording cannot be set to "On"
simultaneously with Picture Cache Recording, Interval
Recording, Frame Recording, or Slow & Quick
Motion. When you set Clip Continuous Recording to
"On," these other functions are forcibly set to "Off."
• Clip Continuous Recording cannot be used while
recording.
• This function cannot be used with FAT.
Performing Clip Continuous Recording
When the preparatory settings are completed, you
can start recording.
Press the REC START/STOP button.
When recording starts, the "CONT" indication on
the screen changes to "zREC" (with z in red).
Notes
• If you remove the SxS memory card or the battery
while recording or standing by to record (the "CONT"
indication appears), the SxS memory card must be
restored. Only remove the SxS memory card after Clip
Continuous Recording is complete. If "CONT" is
flashing (1 time per second), you can remove the SxS
memory card.
• Record for at least 2 seconds before you stop
recording.
To disable Clip Continuous Recording mode
While standing by to record, set "Setting" in
"Clip Cont. Rec" (page 78) in the CAMERA SET
menu to "Off."
