Connecting to an External Recorder
Connect the camera to an external recorder using the 3G/HD-SDI 1 / MONITOR terminal,
3G/HD-SDI 2 terminal or HDMI OUT terminal. Use the terminal on the camera that matches the one
you wish to use on the external recorder. For details on compatible external recorders, consult the
retail dealer from whom you purchased the camera or contact a Canon Service Center. For details on
connecting the camera to an external monitor, refer to Connecting to an External Monitor (A 19).
Outputting a Recording Command to an External Recorder
You can use an assignable button set to [External Rec] or an optional RC-V100 Remote Controller to
output a recording command to an external recorder connected to the camera to start or stop
recording.
1 Set an assignable button to [External Rec].
[Other Functions] > [Assignable Buttons] > Desired button ([1] to [4 (Remote)]) > [External Rec]
2 Press the assignable button to output a recording command to start recording.
• Alternatively, when an optional RC-V100 Remote Controller is connected to the camera, you can
press the remote controller's START/STOP button.
• [Rec] will appear on the right of the screen.
3 Press the assignable button again to output a recording command to stop recording.
• [Rec] will disappear.
NOTES
• If the recording command does not seem to be output when you press the assignable button, make
sure that the [Audio/Video Setup] > [Rec Command] > [Activate] setting is set to [On].
• You can use the [Audio/Video Setup] > [Rec Command] > [Remove OSD] setting to
automatically turn off the camera's onscreen displays whenever a recording command is being
output.
