This section explains the basics of recording clips*. For details on recording audio, refer to Recording Audio
(A 96).
Before making important recordings for the first time, make the following test recordings to check that the
camera operates correctly. Should the camera fail to operate correctly, refer to
Troubleshooting (A 199).
- Record a primary clip on a CFast card for approximately 5 minutes using the default bit rate of 410 Mbps.
- Change the frame rate (A 62) to 59.94P or 50.00P, activate the simultaneous recording of proxy clips
(A 111) and record a proxy clip on an SD card for approximately 20 minutes.
* “Clip” refers to a single movie unit recorded with a single recording operation. You can also include custom picture settings
(A 134) and metadata (A 106) with the clip.
Preparing to Record
1 Attach the monitor unit, handle unit, grip unit, etc. as necessary to build the desired configuration
(
A 39).
2 Attach a charged battery pack to the camera (
A 26).
3 Insert recording media (one or two CFast cards, SD card) as necessary (
A 47, 48).
• Insert CFast cards into both CFast card slots to use relay recording or double slot recording (A 50).
• Insert an SD card to record proxy clips (A 111) (and/or photos).
• To use an external recorder (A 163), complete the necessary connections and settings.
4 Attach a lens (A 36).

NOTESNOTES
• The camera can add a user memo (A 106) to the clips. It can be used to store information such as the clip
name, camera operator and filming location. However, you must set the user memo before recording.
