# [RECORDING] menu

Sets the various items in the recording function.

## [FORMAT MEDIA]

Formats the memory card in the specified card slot. Data deleted as a result of formatting cannot be restored. Always confirm the data before formatting.

The items that can be selected are as follows.

- [SLOT1], [SLOT2], [SLOT3]

## [CLIP NAME]

### [CAM INDEX]

Sets the CAM INDEX used in the name for the MOV format file to be recorded. Set one upper case alphabetical character. This is used as a value to be stored in the volume label of the memory card.

The items that can be set are as follows.

- [A]…[Z]

(Factory setting: [A])

### [NEXT CARD COUNT]

Sets the CARD COUNT used in the name for the MOV format file to be recorded.

In the following cases, the setting value in [NEXT CARD COUNT] is stored in the volume label of the memory card together with the [CAM INDEX] setting value as CARD COUNT. Also, the setting value will increase one after storing. (It will return to [001] after [999])

- When formatted the memory card

- When recorded to the memory card where CARD COUNT is not stored in the volume label

The items that can be set are as follows.

- [001]…[999]

(Factory setting: [001])

## [REC MEDIA]

Selects the memory card to be recorded.

- Recording is not possible when a memory card with the format that is not selected is inserted.

[expressP2] | Use the expressP2 card in the card slot 1.
[microP2/SD] | Use the microP2 card or the SD card in the card slot 2 or the card slot 3.

(Factory setting: [microP2/SD])

## [FILE SPLIT]

Selects the split method of the file in P2 format to be recorded.

[ONE FILE] | Record as a single file on the expressP2 card or microP2 card with 32 GB or more. The recording format is AVC-Intra 422 or AVC-LongG.
[SPLIT] | The file is split in 4 GB units regardless of the recording format or the memory card.

(Factory setting: [SPLIT])

NOTE

- When using a microP2 card with 32 GB or less, it is split every 4 GB regardless of selected item.

- A clip of 4 GB or more recorded by selecting [ONE FILE] cannot be copied to a microP2 card with 32 GB or less.

- The setting is fixed to [SPLIT] when recording format is AVC-Intra 200/AVC-Intra 100/AVC-Intra 50.

## [2 SLOTS FUNC.]

Sets the recording function that uses card slots 2 and 3.

NOTE

- For the combinations and restrictions of the settings, refer to “Recording function that cannot be used simultaneously”.

## [PRE REC]

Sets whether to perform pre-recording.

The pre-recording time varies depending on the setting of the [SYSTEM] menu → [FILE FORMAT]/[REC FORMAT].

[ON] | Performs the pre-recording. The pre-recording time is as follows. When [FILE FORMAT] is set to [P2]: Approximately 3 seconds When [FILE FORMAT] is set to [MOV], and [REC FORMAT] is set to [2160-29.97p/422ALL-I 400M], [2160-25.00p/422ALL-I 400M], or [2160-23.98p/422ALL-I 400M]: Approximately 3 seconds When [FILE FORMAT] is set to [MOV], and [REC FORMAT] is set to [2160-59.94p/HEVC LongGOP 200M], [2160-59.94p/HEVC LongGOP 100M], [2160-59.94p/420LongGOP 150M], [2160-50.00p/HEVC LongGOP 200M], [2160-50.00p/HEVC LongGOP 100M], [2160-50.00p/420LongGOP 150M], [2160-29.97p/HEVC LongGOP 150M], [2160-29.97p/422LongGOP 150M], [2160-29.97p/420LongGOP 100M], [2160-25.00p/HEVC LongGOP 150M], [2160-25.00p/422LongGOP 150M], [2160-25.00p/420LongGOP 100M], [2160-23.98p/HEVC LongGOP 150M], [2160-23.98p/422LongGOP 150M], or [2160-23.98p/420LongGOP 100M]: Approximately 5 seconds When set to anything other than above: Approximately 10 seconds

- For the combinations and restrictions of the settings, refer to “Recording function that cannot be used simultaneously”.

### [REC MODE HOLD]

Selects whether to hold [REC MODE] settings.
