Cache recording mode
The most recent approximately maximum 14 seconds of
video and audio captured by the camcorder are held in a
buffer memory and automatically recorded on the hard disk
when the recording button is pressed. During this operation,
the time code of this unit is recorded.
To set the cache recording ON or OFF
Select CACHE REC on the menu screen and select the
desired setting ON or OFF.
• Any data of less than one frame is discarded.
• When CAM LINK [ON] is set, the data in the buffer
memory and the data recorded after starting recording are
recorded as separate files (in the same folder). In this case,
the time code of this unit is saved in the file recorded by
cache recording, and the time code of the camcorder is
saved in the file after cache recording.
• When you start recording by sliding the REC switch, the
data in the buffer memory and the data recorded after
starting recording are recorded as the same file. In this case,
the time code of this unit is saved in the file.

connecting device turned off during recording, recording
stops but the data recorded until that point is recorded.
• If the power of this unit is turned off by battery exhaustion
or mistakenly sliding the POWER switch, the data recorded
until the power off is detected is recorded on this unit.
• If the battery pack is removed or the jack of the AC adaptor
disconnected during recording, the folder information at
the moment the power goes off may not be written
correctly.
