with double slot recording.

• For lower shooting frame rates, it may take approximately 1 second to stop recording.
• Slow & fast motion mode will be deactivated if the special recording mode is changed or turned off. It will be
deactivated also if you change the video configuration.

Run] or the time code is input from an external source (b only), the running mode will switch to [Rec
Run] during special recording mode. When special recording mode is deactivated, the running mode will
return to its previous setting.
• b During special recording mode, the time code signal will not be output from the GENLOCK/TC
terminal or HD/SD SDI terminal.
• When the bit rate is set to 50 Mbps (0 46) during slow motion recording, relay recording is not available.

Pre-recording Mode

When pre-recording mode is activated, the camcorder starts recording
continuously into a temporary memory of approximately 3 seconds so
when you press the START/STOP button, the clip will contain also
approximately 3 seconds of video and audio recorded before you pressed
the button.
