[Notes]
ˎ
ˎ
Picture Cache Rec cannot be set to On at the same
time as Interval Rec or Slow & Quick Motion. When
Picture Cache Rec is set to On, these other recording
modes are forcibly set to Off.
ˎ
ˎ
Picture Cache Rec mode cannot be selected while
recording or Rec Review is in progress.
ˎ
ˎ
When Picture Cache Rec is set to On, the timecode is
recorded in Free Run mode regardless of the setting
in the TC/Media menu (page 90).
ˎ
ˎ
The Output Format setting may not be configurable in
Picture Cache Rec mode. If this occurs, temporarily set
Picture Cache Rec to Off, and then change the setting.
Configuring before shooting
Configure Picture Cache Rec (page 82) in
the Project menu before shooting.
You can also assign the Picture Cache Rec
function to an assignable button (page 41)
and switch Picture Cache Rec >Setting
between On and Off using the button.
When configured, the “
” (
is green)
indicator appears in the viewfinder.
Starting picture cache recording
When you press the record button, recording
starts and video is written to XQD memory
cards starting from the video stored in the
cache memory.
To cancel Picture Cache Rec
Set Picture Cache Rec >Setting in the Project
menu to Off, or press an assignable button
assigned with the Picture Cache Rec function.
[Notes]
ˎ
ˎ
Changing the recording format clears the video in
cache memory stored up to that point, and starts
caching new video. Consequently, picture cache
recording of pictures before changing format is not
possible, even if you start recording immediately after
changing format.
ˎ
ˎ
If Picture Cache Rec is set to On or Off immediately
after inserting an XQD memory card, cache data may
not be recorded on the card.
ˎ
ˎ
Video is stored in cache memory when the Picture
Cache Rec function is set to On. Video prior to the
function being set to On is not cached.
ˎ
ˎ
Video is not stored in cache memory while an XQD
memory card is being accessed, such as during
playback, Rec Review, or thumbnail screen display.
Picture cache recording of video during that interval
is not possible.
Recording to Memory Cards A and
B Simultaneously (2-slot Simul
Rec)
You can record to both memory card A and
memory card B simultaneously by setting
Simul Rec >Setting in the Project menu to On.
[Note]
Simultaneous recording is not supported in Slow &
Quick Motion mode (page 77) or Picture Cache
Rec mode (page 82). Also, simultaneous recording
is not supported for the following recording formats
(page 80).

By factory default, both buttons are set to
start/stop simultaneous recording to both
memory cards A and B.
