The Frame Recording function is especially
effective for clay animation recording.
The specified number of frames are recorded
intermittently when you press the REC START/
STOP button.
It is recommended to fix the camcorder to a tripod
or equivalent and use the IR Remote Commander
to start/stop recording rather than pressing the
REC START/STOP button of the camcorder.

simultaneously with Interval Recording or Slow
& Quick Motion. When you set Frame
Recording to “On,” Interval Recording and
Slow & Quick Motion are forcibly set to “Off.”
• No audio recording is executed in Frame
Recording.
• Frame Recording cannot be performed if an SP
video format is selected with “Video Format”
and “i.LINK I/O” is set to “Enable” with the
OTHERS menu.

“Video Format” of the OTHERS menu is set to
SP 1080/24P.
