Useful Functions

Simultaneous Recording
You can simultaneously record two sizes of
pictures on an SxS memory card in one slot. You
can also simultaneously record an HD signal on an
SxS memory card in the unit while recording video
and audio in RAW format on the AXS-R7.
You can perform simultaneous recording using
Project category > AXS Rec Format and SxS Rec
Format or SxS Rec Format and Sub Rec Format
in the menu as described in "Recording Format
Settings" (page 48).
In 1-slot simultaneous recording, the XAVC 4K
Class480/XAVC 4K Class300/XAVC QFHD Class480/
XAVC QFHD Class300 clip is recorded in the
XDROOT/Clip directory on the SxS memory card,
but the MPEG2 1920×1080 clip is recorded in the
XDROOT/Sub directory on the SxS memory card.
The suffix "S02" is appended to the end of the clip
name.
Picture Cache Recording
The unit always maintains a cache of video and
audio data for a set interval (maximum of 30
seconds) in memory when shooting, allowing you
to record several seconds of footage before the
start of recording.
When you start recording with Project > Special
Recording > Cache Rec Select (page 59) set
to On in the full menu, video of duration set by
Project > Special Recording > Max Cache Rec
Duration (page 59) is recorded retroactively.
You can also turn picture cache recording on/
off using an assignable button assigned with the
Picture Cache Rec function.
[Notes]
ˎ Restrictions to the Max Cache Rec Duration setting may ˎ
apply, depending on the system frequency, recording
format, and recording media. For details, see page 59.
ˎ Changing system settings, such as the recording format, ˎ
clears all images stored in memory. Consequently, images
shot just before changing settings cannot be recorded, if
recording is started immediately after changing settings.
Picture cache mode is automatically released.
ˎ Picture cache mode recording is not available during
ˎ
1-slot simultaneous recording or AXS/SxS simultaneous
recording.
ˎ The picture cache settings cannot be changed during ˎ
recording.
ˎ When recording in MPEG 422 at low shooting frame rates, ˎ
it may take some time to stop recording or to switch
between memory cards.
Recording Review (Rec Review)
You can review the last recorded clip on the
screen by assigning the Rec Review function to
one of assignable buttons 1 to 4 (page 39).
When you stop recording and press the button
assigned with Rec Review, the clip is played at
normal speed starting from the first frame.
The clip is played to the end, then Rec Review
ends and the unit returns to STBY (recording
standby) mode.
If the HOME button is pressed on the Operator
side or Assistant side during playback, playback
stops and the unit switches to shooting mode.
High-Definition Focus Magnifier
Function
By pressing the FOCUS MAG button of the
viewfinder (DVF-EL200, DVF-L700) attached to
the unit, you can expand the center part of the
viewfinder, making it is easier to adjust the focus.
The magnified display does not affect the recorded
image or output signal.
Normal focus magnification reduces the resolution
because it simply magnifies a part of the displayed
image. However, the two-times (×2) focusing
by the unit provides focus magnification while
maintaining the display resolution by cutting out
the portion to magnify from the 4K signal instead
of the recorded image or other output signal.
Four-times (×4) focus magnification selection
is also supported using the 4K image cutout
function.
The FOCUS MAG button magnification sequence
can be changed using Monitoring > VF Display >
VF Magnifier Ratio (page 66) in the full menu.
When VF Magnifier Ratio is set to ×2.0/×4.0, the
magnification sequence each time you press
assignable buttons 1 to 4 assigned with VF Focus
Magnifier is ×2.0  ×4.0  ×1.0  ×2.0.
[Note]
In High Frame Rate mode (shooting frame rate of 61 fps or
higher), the ×2 focus display image resolution decreases
because cutout display from a 4K image is not supported.
