few seconds to record the picture data stored in memory.
• If you remove the battery, unplug the DC cable, or cut the
power to the AC adaptor during manual interval
recording, picture data stored before recording stops (a
maximum of 5 seconds) may be lost. Take care when
changing the battery.

Notes
• When pictures consisting of cuts recorded using the RE-
TAKE function are played back on a VTR for
professional use, the CHANNEL CONDITION
indicator, which indicates the condition of the played
back signal of the VTR, may be lit in yellow, noise may
be added to the cue audio for the first 2 or 3 seconds, or
the previously recorded timecode may be displayed for a
few seconds. To avoid this, it is recommended that you
make the first part of the cut (in the above "Example:
After recording cut 3, clearing cut 3 and recording cut 4
after cut 2", cut 4) about 3 seconds longer.
• In the following cases, the RE-TAKE function is not
accepted. The message "INVALID OPERATION!" is
displayed on the viewfinder screen for three seconds.
—When only one cut has been recorded
—When the length of the recorded cuts is less than 3
seconds
—When Picture Cache is ON
The RE-TAKE function is also not accepted after
recording stops until the recording pause operation is
completed (about 1 second). The message "INVALID
OPERATION!" is displayed. In this case, the RE-
TAKE function will be accepted when you perform
the RE-TAKE operation again after the message
disappears.
