Recording Video
• Clips will be split in the following cases.
- When relay recording (A 36) is activated and the selected card becomes full, the recording will continue as
a separate relay clip on the other card.
- When recording clips on an SDHC card, the video (stream) file in the clip will be split approximately every
4 GB. Even in such case, playback with the camcorder will be continuous.
• Any metadata settings you may have set (A 108) will be recorded with the clips you record. You can also
have the custom picture settings in use saved with the recorded clips (A 123).
• The maximum continuous recording time of a single clip is 6 hours. After that, a new clip will be created
automatically and recording will continue as a separate clip.
• If the LOCK switch on the SD card is set to prevent writing, you will not be able to record clips. Change the
position of the LOCK switch in advance.
• Depending on the clip, the camcorder may adjust some controls internally to display a more suitable image on
the LCD screen and viewfinder.
- When the [Gamma] setting in the custom picture file is set to a setting other than [Canon Log 3], the
camcorder will produce an image that approximates the look of video displayed on a compatible monitor
correctly configured.
- When the [Gamma] setting in the custom picture file is set to [Canon Log 3], the camcorder will produce
colors that approximate the look of the BT.709 color space, regardless of the color space used for
recording.
Locking the Camcorder's Controls (Key Lock)
You can set the KEY LOCK switch to C (key lock) to lock
all the physical controls (buttons and switches) on the
camcorder, save for the REC buttons*. This is useful in
preventing settings from being changed due to
inadvertently pressing one of the buttons. Return the KEY
LOCK switch to the position to reactivate the controls.
When the camcorder's controls are locked, you can still
operate the camcorder using the supplied wireless
controller, optional RC-V100 Remote Controller or Browser
Remote application.
* In mode only, you can choose to lock also the REC buttons
with the >[B $ System Setup] > [Key Lock] setting.
Recording in Full Auto Mode
Set the FULL AUTO switch to ON to set the camcorder to full auto
mode. In full auto mode, the camcorder automatically sets the
aperture, gain, shutter speed, and white balance. The camcorder
will continuously adjust the brightness and white balance
automatically*. The focus mode, however, will not be set to
autofocus.
* The light metering mode (A 62) will be set to [Standard], AE shift (A 61) will
be set to [±0] and the AGC limit (A 56) will be set to [Off/33 dB].
