Other VTR functions
NEWS REC function
The NEWS REC function is set using NEWS REC
MODE on the VTR MENU "FUNCTION" screen.
By
controlling
the
acknowledgment time during recording (by up to 2
seconds), the time taken for the unit to transfer from
the recording mode to the rec-pause mode can be
delayed.
In other words, by controlling the VTR START button
operation acknowledgment time, the unit can
continuously record without the user having to
interrupt the recording: this safeguards against the
failure to record those precious moments—a failure
that occurs when recording is resumed immediately
after it was shut down temporarily.
RETAKE function
The RETAKE function is activated by selecting ON for
RETAKE MODE on the VTR MENU "FUNCTION"
screen.
If the lens RET button is pressed while holding down
the MODE CHECK button when the unit is in the rec-
pause mode upon completion of a recording or
subsequently in the STOP mode, the tape will be
rewound to a point near the start point (a position
about 10 frames ahead of the recording start point) of
the final picture which was last recorded, and the unit
will be set to the rec-pause mode.
If there is enough leeway in the shooting time and a
particular cut is clearly judged to be no good,
recording can be started from that point so that the
no-good cut will be deleted.
By cutting down on the time taken for copying onto the
work tape, for instance, this function is very effective
in achieving economical operation.

particularly effective when shooting programs with a
nature theme or art programs.
The INTERVAL REC function is set on the VTR
MENU "FUNCTION" screen.

Once the above items are set, the unit is set to the
INTERVAL REC mode, and "i" starts to flash inside
the viewfinder.
When the VTR START button is now pressed, interval
shooting is started, and "iREC" lights in place of "i."
Also, the time unit (h/min/s/frm) display on the counter
display area starts to flash.
When the unit is set to rec-pause mode upon
completion of the first interval shooting, "iREC" goes
from lighted to flashing inside the viewfinder.
The time unit display on the counter display area
remains flashing.
To forcibly stop recording at any point in time during
interval recording, press the STOP button repeatedly.
