Note the following about standard VFR
recording.
• Pre-recording, loop recording, interval
recording, one-shot recording, and one-clip
recording are not available.
• 1394 output is available during recording
and recording standby, but not in AVC Intra
mode.
• Changing Scene Dial position during
recording does not change VFR on and off
position.
• Sound is recorded.
• The screen may be distorted when
changing the FRAME RATE setting.
• Gain is fixed to 0 dB when set to 4 frames
or less.
Furthermore, AGC, auto iris and ATW do not
function and must be operated manually.
• Red, blue, or green points may appear on
the screen when the frame rate is low. This
is not a fault.
