Pre-recording

When pre-recording is activated, the camera starts recording continuously onto a temporary memory (approx.

3 seconds) so when you press the REC button, the clip will contain also a few seconds of video and audio

recorded before you pressed the button.

Pre-recording is available only for XF-AVC primary clips.

NOTES

• Pre-recording will be canceled if the main recording format or recording mode is changed.

• About the time code when pre-recording is activated:

- The time code of the clip will start a few seconds before the REC button was pressed.

- The time code will be recorded with the running mode set to [Free Run].

- If the time code mode was set to [Regen.], or to [Preset] with [Rec Run] running mode, the time code

running mode will be changed automatically to [Free Run] when pre-recording is activated.

- When the special recording mode is turned off, the time code running mode will return to its previous

setting.
