of video and audio recorded before the START/STOP button was

pressed.

• The tally lamps go out and [PRE REC STBY] appears at the top of

the screen.

NOTES

• You can use only one special recording mode at a time.

• Pre-recording mode will be deactivated if the special recording mode is

changed or turned off. It will be deactivated also if you change the

video configuration.

• During pre-recording mode, the time code will be recorded with the

running mode (0 84) set to [Free Run], regardless of the previous

setting. Alternatively, you can use an external time code signal

(b only). When the time code is recorded, it will include the

3 seconds before the START/STOP button was pressed. When special

recording mode is deactivated, the running mode will return to its

previous setting.
