5. Shooting: Useful Functions
To shoot using Interval Rec
Press the REC (recording start/stop) button
to start recording. "Int Rec" and "Int Stby"
appear alternately on the LCD monitor.
If you are using the pre-lighting function, the
video light turns on before recording starts.
To stop shooting
Stop the recording.
When shooting ends, the video data stored
in memory up to that point is written to the
media.
To exit Interval Rec mode
Do one of the following.
• Turn the unit off.
• In recording standby mode, set Rec Function
to a setting other than Interval Rec on the
Project status screen.
Also, Interval Rec mode is automatically
released when the unit is restarted.
Limitations during recording
• Audio is not recorded.
• Reviewing the recording (Rec Review) is not
possible.
If the unit is turned off during recording
• If the power switch on the unit is set to
the off position, the media is accessed for
several seconds to record the images stored
in memory up till that moment, and then
the power turns off automatically.
• If power is lost because the battery
was removed, the DC power cord was
disconnected, or the power was turned off
from the AC adaptor, then the video and
audio data shot up to that point may be
lost (maximum 10 seconds). Care should be
exercised when exchanging the battery.
Recording Cached Pictures (Picture
Cache Rec)
The Picture Cache Rec function allows you
to capture video retroactively when you
start recording by maintaining an internal
cache memory of a specified duration when
shooting.
Set Picture Cache Rec to On on the Project
status screen and then set the cache size.
Cache Size setting
Cache time (approximate)
Short
5 seconds
Medium
10 seconds
Long

Maximum value or each
recording format
[Tips]
• The cache time may be shorter, depending on the
shooting frame rate and recording format. Check the
display at the bottom right of the cache size setup
screen.
• You can also set the mode using Picture Cache Rec
(page 44) in the Project menu of the full menu.
• You can also switch Picture Cache Rec between On
and Off using an assignable button (page 100).
[Notes]
• Picture Cache Rec cannot be used in combination
with Interval Rec, 2-slot simultaneous recording, or
proxy recording. When Picture Cache Rec is set to On,
these other recording functions are forcibly set to Off.
• Picture Cache Rec mode cannot be selected while
recording or Rec Review is in progress.
• When Picture Cache Rec is set to On, the timecode
is recorded in Free Run mode even if set to Regen or
Rec Run (page 51).
• The Output Format setting may not be configurable in
Picture Cache Rec mode. If this occurs, temporarily set
Picture Cache Rec to Off, and then change the setting.
Starting Picture Cache Rec
When Picture Cache Rec is set to On, "Cache"
appears on the LCD monitor.
When you press the REC (recording start/stop)
button, recording starts and video is written
to the memory cards starting from the video
stored in the cache memory.
To exit Picture Cache Rec
Set Picture Cache Rec to Off on the Project
status screen, or press an assignable button
assigned with the Picture Cache Rec function.
[Notes]
• Changing the recording format or basic look clears
the video in cache memory stored up to that point,
and starts caching new video. Consequently, picture
cache recording of pictures before changing format is
not possible, even if you start recording immediately
after changing format.
• If Picture Cache Rec is set to On or Off immediately
after inserting a memory card, cache data may not be
recorded on the card.
• Video is stored in cache memory when the Picture
Cache Rec function is set to On. Video prior to the
function being set to On is not cached.
• Video is not stored in cache memory while a memory
card is being accessed, such as during playback,
Rec Review, or clips screen display. Picture cache
recording of video during that interval is not possible.
Recording to Memory Cards A and
B Simultaneously (2-slot Simul
Rec)
You can record to both memory card A and
memory card B simultaneously by setting
Simul Rec (page 28) on the Project status
screen or Simul Rec >Setting (page 44) in
the Project menu of the full menu to On.
Video Signal Monitor
You can set the type of video signal to display
on the LCD monitor to waveform, vectorscope,
or histogram using Display On/Off >Video
Signal Monitor (page 53) in the Monitoring
menu.
The orange line indicates the set value of the
zebra level.
You can also assign the Video Signal Monitor
function to an assignable button (page 100).
Monitor target display
In Cine EI mode, the color gamut setting
(page 80) or monitor LUT setting
(page 41) information is displayed at
the top right of the video signal monitor to
indicate the monitor target.
