2-slot continuous recording
If	you	insert	two	P2	cards	into	the	two	card	slots,	
this	function	allows	you	to	record	continuously	on	
the	two	cards.
You	can	also	record	continuously	on	three	or	more	
cards	by	replacing	one	card	while	data	is	being	
recorded	on	the	other.	(Hot	swap	recording)
However,	depending	on	when	the	P2	card	is
inserted	into	an	empty	slot	(immediately	after	
prerecording,	or	before	or	after	continuous	
recording	spanning	two	slots),	there	may	be	a	
delay	in	recognizing	the	P2	card.	
We	recommend	inserting	the	P2	card	while	there	
is	at	least	one	minute	remaining	on	the	card	that	is	
recording.
You	can	change	the	slot	for	recording	with	one	
touch	if	you	press	a	USER	button	to	which	the	
SLOT	SEL	has	been	allocated.
•	 “Using	the	USER	buttons”	(Page	39)
•	 You	cannot	change	slots	while	recording	so	do	
this	during	recording	standby.
•	 Does	not	support	hot	swap	playback.
Shot mark function
The	marks	attached	to	the	thumbnails	of	clips	
are	called	shot	marks.	On	the	thumbnail	screen	
monitor	you	can	select	only	those	clips	with	a	shot	
mark	and	display	them	or	play	them	back.	
•	“Switching	the	thumbnail	display”	(Page	80)
During 	recording, 	when 	you 	press 	the 	USER 	button	
to	which	the	SHOT 	MARK	function	has	been	
allocated,	MARK	ON	appears	in	the	LCD	monitor	
or	the	viewfinder,	and	a	shot	mark	is	set	for	the	
thumbnail	of	the	clip	being	recorded.	If	you	press	
the	button	again,	the	shot	mark	is	released.
•	 “Using	the	USER	buttons”	(Page	39)
•	A shot mark added during a pause after 
recording is added to the most recently 
recorded clip.
•	 Shot marks can be added also in the 
thumbnail display.
•	 The shot mark function is not available 
during loop recording, interval recording 
and one-shot recording. When this function 
is not available, pressing this button 
displays SHOT MARK INVALID.
•	 Shot marks can be set or cancelled in 
playback pause mode but not during 
playback.
•	 Shot marks cannot be set or deleted for 
video data created in a single hot-swap 
recording session consisting of multiple 
clips unless all the P2 cards that contain 
the video data for the entire session are 
inserted. In clips that consist of multiple 
clips like the one above, shot marks can be 
added only to the first clip of video data.

Text memo recording
This	function	adds	text	memos	at	the	video	points	
on	the	clip	now	being	recorded	or	played	back.
When	you	press	the	USER	button	to	which	the	
TEXT	MEMO	function	has	been	allocated,	the	text	
memo	will	be	recorded	at	that	point.	
•	 “Using	the	USER	buttons”	(Page	39)
On	the	thumbnail	screen	you	can	select	only	those	
clips	where	text	memos	have	been	added,	and	
then	either	display	those	clips	or	play	them	back.	
•	 “Switching	the	thumbnail	display”	(Page	80)
You	can	record	up	to	a	hundred	text	memos	per	
clip.
•	 You	cannot	record	text	memos	during	loop	
recording,	interval	recording	or	one-shot	
recording.
•	 “TEXT
	MEMO	INVALID”	appears	when	you	
cannot	record	text	memos.
Time stamp function
Use	the	time	stamp	function	to	record	date	and	
time	of	shooting	on	the	video.
Select 	ON 	under 	TIME 	STAMP 	on 	the 	setting 	menu	
RECORDING	SETUP 	screen.
“	
R	”	prefixes	the	date	and	time	display	in	the	
viewfinder	and	the	LCD	monitor	when	the	time	
stamp	function	is	on.
•	 “	
R	”	is	not	recorded	on	the	video.
•	 The	size	and	location	of	the	date	and	time	
characters	will	vary	with	the	recording	format.
•	 The	data	recorded	depends	on	the	DATE/TIME	
setting	on	the	setting	menu	DISPLAY
	SETUP	
screen.	No	data	is	recorded	when	OFF	is	
selected.
•	 This	timestamp	is	superimposed	on	the	video	
output	from	the	DVCPRO/DV	terminal.

LAST CLIP DELETE function
Assign	LAST
	CLIP	to	any	of	the	USER	MAIN	or	
USER	1	–	4	buttons	to	enable	a	convenient	way	to	
delete	the	last	recorded	clip.
Pressing	the	USER	button	to	which	LAST 	CLIP	
was	assigned	displays	a	 YES/NO	confirmation	
dialog	on	the	screen.
Select	 YES,	and	the	last	recorded	clip	is	deleted	
and	“LAST 	CLIP	DELETE	OK”	is	displayed.
•	 “Using	the	USER	buttons”	(Page	39)
•	 Select	NO	to	cancel	clip	deletion.
•	 Clips	cannot	be	deleted	even	when	you	press	the	
button	if	you	have	switched	to	PB/THUMBNAIL
	
mode	or	PC	mode	after	shooting,	when	recording	
1394	input,	or	during	menu	display.		
Then	it	will	not	be	possible	to	delete	the	clip	by	
turning	the	power	off	and	turning	it	back	on.
•	 In	hot	swap	recording,	the	clip	delete	function	is	
not	available	unless	all	the	P2	cards	containing	
data	shot	in	one	recording	operation	are	inserted.
•	 The	clip	delete	function	is	not	available	when	the	
one-clip	recording	is	set.

When 	one-clip 	recording 	mode 	is 	enabled, 	“1-CLIP”
appears	in	the	viewfinder	and	at	the	top	of	the	LCD	
monitor.
When	you	press	the	START/STOP 	button	on

•	 The	processing	time	to	complete	the	recording	
may	take	a	little	more	time	than	normally	to	
allow	the	clip	to	be	combined	with	subsequent	
recordings.
•	 The
	fade 	process 	does 	not 	work 	on 	discontinuous	
audio	during	playback	where	the	recordings	are	
combined	within	the	clip.
•	 If	non-linear	editing	software	is	used	on	clips	with
multiple	combined	recordings,	the	software	may	
not	operate	normally	(as	of	Jun.	2012).
