The setting values are saved together with the settings of [REC FORMAT] and [AUDIO SMPL RES] on each setting of [LINE&FREQ]. When the settings of [LINE&FREQ] are restored to the previous settings, these items are reset to the previous settings at the time.

[REC FORMAT]

Selects the codec for recording and the mode for shooting and recording.

The AVC-LongG format cannot be selected in the following cases:

• When the main menu → [REC/PB] → [REC FUNCTION] → [RECORDING] is set to [INTERVAL] or [ONE SHOT].

Types of available codecs vary depending on the setting of [LINE&FREQ]. For details, refer to “Multi formats”.

[AUDIO SMPL RES]

If the recording format is AVC-Intra 100/AVC-Intra 50, selects number of the audio recording quantizing bits.

[16BIT]: 16-bit is the audio recording bit quantity.

[24BIT]: 24-bit is the audio recording bit quantity.

• Factory setting: [16BIT]

When the recording format is AVC-LongG 50 or AVC-LongG 25, select [24BIT]. When the recording format is DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO, or DV, select [16BIT].

Clips recorded at 24-bit should be played back using a 24-bit compatible P2 device or P2 Viewer Plus. The clip numbers of P2 devices that are not 24-bit compatible are displayed in red and cannot be used for playback. Audio does not play back correctly on a P2 Viewer that is not 24-bit compatible. Always use the latest P2 Viewer Plus version.

For 24-bit compatible P2 devices and the latest P2 Viewer Plus information, visit the P2 support page on the following website.
