Notes
• If you change the recording format, the cached data are
cleared and caching is newly started. Therefore, data
cached before you changed the format cannot be
recorded if you start Picture Cache Recording
immediately after changing the format.
• If you start/stop Picture Cache Recording immediately
after you insert an SxS memory card, data may not be
recorded on the card.
• Picture caching starts when you activate the Picture
Cache Recording function. Therefore, video before the
function is activated cannot be recorded with Picture
Cache Recording.
• Picture Cache Recording is invalid for external input
signal (HDV).
• As picture caching is disabled while an SxS memory
card is being accessed, such as during playback, Rec
Review, or thumbnail screen display, Picture Cache
Recording of such a period cannot be made.
• Although you can change the cache time setting while
recording, any new value becomes valid only after
recording has stopped.
