Special Recording Modes
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.
You can also use direct touch control to perform this function (A 49).
1 Select > [Æ Recording/Media Setup] > [Recording Mode] > [Pre-Recording].
[PRE STBY] appears on the screen.
2Press the REC button to begin recording.
The tally lamp changes from green (power indicator) to red.
[PRE STBY] changes to [PRE
Ü
REC] while recording.
3Press the REC button again to stop recording.
The clip is recorded. The recorded clip will include a few seconds of video and audio recorded before the
REC button was pressed.
The tally lamp changes from red to green (power indicator) and the onscreen display changes back to [PRE
STBY].
4 Select > [Æ Recording/Media Setup] > [Recording Mode] > [Normal Recording] to stop

NOTES
Pre-recording will be canceled if the 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.
Frame Recording Mode

for example, on a tripod. Sound is not recorded in this mode.
