Retaining the user bits
The data set for the user bits are automatically saved
and retained even if the video camera-recorder is
turned off.
Frame rate information recorded in user
bits
Video is captured at the frame rate set in the setting
menu REC FORMAT (setting menu FRAME RATE in
FILM CAM 720P) and the recorded video information
is recorded in the user bits to allow use in an editing
device (PC editing software).
In CAMERA mode recording, this information is always
recorded in the VIDEO AUX area user bits.
Setting the setting menu UB MODE to FRM. RATE,
records the information also to the user bits in the
subcode area. In playback of clips recorded at 720P
native, the same frame rate information as that
obtained in playing back the user bits in the VIDEO
AUX area is also output to the user bits in the subcode
area.
■Frame rate information
