recording during this time, a separate clip is
recorded.
• When you press the REC START button or the
VTR button on the lens to restart recording
during disc access, the start point of the
recorded clip may be later than the Picture
Cache time, especially when there are a large
number of clips recorded on the disc. In Picture
Cache mode, you should avoid stop and start
recording operations in quick succession.
• The time disc access stops after the REC
START button is pressed equals the Picture
Cache time. However, if you start recording
within the Picture Cache time immediately after
selecting Picture Cache mode, changing the
Picture Cache time or performing playback or
recording review, the picture data for the
duration of the Picture Cache time will not be
stored in memory. Thus, the time disc access
stops after the STOP button is pressed becomes
shorter than the Picture Cache time.
• In Picture Cache mode, you cannot set the F-
RUN/SET/R-RUN switch to SET to make
timecode settings. To make timecode settings,
first exit Picture Cache mode.
When power is lost during recording in Picture
Cache mode
• If the POWER switch is turned off during
recording in Picture Cache mode, the
camcorder gets powered off after disc access
has continued for a few seconds so that the
picture at the moment when the POWER switch
is turned off is recorded.
• If you remove the battery, pull out the DC cable,
or cut power to the AC adaptor during recording
in Picture Cache mode, video and audio stored
in memory will be lost without being recorded
to the disc. For this reason, make sure you do
not change the battery while recording.
Retaking the most recent clip
A retake function is available, making it easy to
erase and retake the most recently recorded clip.
To use the retake function, you need to assign it
to one of the ASSIGN 1/3/4 switches or COLOR
TEMP. button in advance.
For details, see "Assigning functions to ASSIGN
switches" on page 154.
Example: After recording clip 3, you want to
delete it and record a new clip 3 after clip 2.
Clip 1
Clip 2
To retake the most recent clip
With recording paused or after the end of a
recording review (see page 72), proceed as
follows.
1
Hold down the button to which the
retake function has been assigned.
While the button is held down, the last frame
of the recorded clip and the message "PUSH
RET FOR CLIP DELETE" appears.
2
In this state, press the RET button.
The message "DELETING LAST CLIP"
appears, and the processing for deleting the
last recorded clip begins.
When the deleting has finished, the message
"LAST CLIP WAS DELETED" appears.
Note
If an operation (other than recording review) which is not
a retake operation is carried out after the last clip has
been recorded, the retake function does not work even
when the camcorder is in the recording pause state.
In this case, the message "RE-TAKE NOT
ALLOWED!" appears. When you want to replace the
last clip with a new clip, delete the clip (see page 96).
Once you carry out a retake operation, the last clip is
deleted even if you do not carry out a recording operation
afterwards.
Assigning user-defined clip titles
automatically
About the automatic title generation
function
By default, clips on each disc are assigned names
in the range C0001.MXF to C0300.MXF. For this
reason, two discs can contain clips with the same
names. The automatic title generation function
allows you to assign titles to all of the clips on
several discs, which facilitates clip management.
For example, if the titles TITLE00001 to
TITLE00020 are assigned to clips C0001.MXF to
C0020.MXF on disc 1, then the titles
