Scene-to-scene continuity

Maintaining continuity from one scene to the next at an
accuracy of +1 frame or less can be assured simply by
pressing the VTR START button or VTR button on the lens
while the unit is in the rec pause mode.
If the unit is in a mode other than rec-pause, the point at
which the scene-to-scene continuity is to be maintained must
be located before recording is started.
Scene-to-scene continuity during rec pause
The scene-to-scene continuity timing is located automatically.
However, the time taken until the start of recording differs
depending on the setting of the VTR SAVE/STBY switch.
≥ When the VTR SAVE/STBY switch is set to SAVE,
recording commences about two seconds after the VTR
START button is pressed.
≥ When the VTR SAVE/STBY switch is set to STBY,
recording commences as soon as the VTR START button is
pressed.

The NEWS REC function is set using the NEWS REC MODE
item after opening the <REC FUNCTION> screen from the
SYSTEM SETTING page by performing menu operations.
By controlling the VTR START button 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.
