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 7) to the ON
position.
The recording screen is displayed on the
viewfinder screen.
3
Load the memory card(s).
If you load two SxS memory cards, recording is
continued by automatically switching to the
second card when the first card becomes full.
4
Press the REC button (pages 7, 9).
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 flashes
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.
Recording stops if the recording time exceeds the
maximum clip duration.
