Recording Video
This section explains the recording basics. Before you use an external recorder, make sure it is operating
correctly. Before you begin recording on a CF card, make a test recording first to check if the camera is operating
correctly. Record for approximately 6 minutes at 50 Mbps (A 60). Should the camera fail to operate correctly,
refer to
Troubleshooting
(A 185).
For details on recording audio, refer to
Recording Audio
(A 92).
Preparing to Record
1 Attach the monitor unit, handle unit, etc. as necessary to build the
desired configuration (
A 32).
2 Attach a charged battery pack to the camera (
A 24).
3 For MXF recordings, insert a CF card into a CF card slot (
A 43).
Insert another CF card into the other CF card slot to use relay recording
(A 46) or double slot recording (A 47).
4 Attach a lens (A 33, 35).
5 To make 4K and 2K recordings, connect the camera to an external
recorder (
A 41).
6 Adjust the viewfinder.
NOTES
The camera can add a user memo (A 97) to an MXF clip as you record. 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.
Recording
1 Set the Q switch to CAMERA (A 26).
The camera turns on in mode and enters
record pause mode.
When a CF card is in the camera, the access
indicator for the CF card slot selected for recording
illuminates in red and then changes to green.
