Do one of the following to start
recording.
• With the REC button held down, press the
PLAY button.
Note
Be sure to press the REC button first. If you press
the PLAY button first, playback starts and the video
and audio data that has been saved to memory is
cleared.
• Perform sequential recording (you will
need to record at least four seconds before
pausing) (see page 92).
• Record after pausing.
Record four seconds or more, and then
press the PAUSE button to pause. The unit
starts to save video and audio data to
memory.
Then press the PAUSE button again to
resume recording. The unit starts to transfer
data from memory to the tape.
Maximizing the Cache Rec effect
The Cache Rec function advances recording start
timing by up to about 100 frames (or about 200
frames for 422 or 444SQ, when the frame rate is
30PsF or lower). (The number of frames is
equivalent to about 4 seconds (or about 8 seconds
for 422 or 444SQ, when the frame rate is 30PsF
or lower).)
The recording start timing varies depending on
whether the SR Motion is used for recording. The
following table shows how many seconds of data
are recorded in advance of the time that the REC
100 Cache Rec
button is pressed. (The values shown are
approximate and obtained when the frame
frequency is 1080/59P.)
