Undercranking effects
This effect produces the quick motion often used for showing clouds drifting across the sky, crowds of people swarming 
past a solitary standing individual, a kung fu demonstration and other performances. For example, selecting a VFR 
recording frame rate of 12 fps when shooting at a 24P recording format yields a fast-motion effect of approx. 2x normal 
speed. The same effect can be obtained at a 30P recording and a 25P recording.

•   With the menu option REC FORMAT set to DVCPRO HD/60P (50P), you can use a nonlinear editing system t\

Overcranking effects
Overcranking produces slow-motion playback, which is frequently used in climax scenes, or for dramatic effects like car 
chases and action scenes. For example, selecting a recording frame rate of 60 fps when shooting a 24P recording format 
yields a slow-motion effect that is 2.5 times normal speed. Shooting 720P progressive video will produce smooth and high-
quality slow-motion. The same effect can be obtained at a 30P recording and a 25P recording.

ChapterRecordingandPlayback

• The clip does not stop combining even when the STOP 
button is pressed in the Menu or on the thumbnail display.
•  Pressing the STOP or REC button on a remote control unit 
(AJ-RC10G) or extension control unit (AG-EC4G) does not 
stop the clip compiling process.
To exit one-clip recording mode
Set the menu option ONE CLIP REC to OFF.
To cue to the start of the combined 
section of the clip
A text memo can be automatically added to the start of the 
recording, the start of a section can be cued for playback, 
and the thumbnail of the location can be checked before 
each recording.
To automatically add a text memo to the start point of the 
recording, set the menu option START TEXT MEMO to ON 
in the RECORDING SETUP screen.
Check and playback the location of the added text memo 
by selecting THUMBNAIL → TEXT MEMO CLIPS from the 
Thumbnail Menu and moving the cursor over the desired 
clip.
Refer to [Playing back a clip at the position where a text 
memo is recorded] (page 116) for details.
To cue to the location of the text memo during playback, 
set the menu option SEEK SELECT to CLIP&T in the 
OTHER FUNCTIONS screen, and press the FF or REW 
button while playback is paused.
Proxy recording in one-clip recording 
mode
Proxy recording is also possible in one-clip recording 
mode.
As proxy data is also compiled into combined clips, 
the data can be handled as a single clip in P2 Viewer. 
However, note the following precautions when recording 
proxy data to an SD memory card.
•  If the SD memory card is removed and replaced while 
compiling to a clip is in progress, proxy data will not 
be recorded to the new SD memory card until the 
compiling process is stopped. Check that there is 
sufficient space and confirm the number of files (up 
to 1000 clips can be recorded) before using an SD 
memory card. If you want to continue proxy recording 
after an SD memory card has been replaced, press and 
hold the STOP button for about 2 seconds to stop the 
compiling process, and start recording to a new clip.
•  If recording to an SD memory card is stopped mid-
progress, the proxy data recorded on that card will be 
incomplete and will not match the clip data recorded to 
the P2 card.
Precautions for one-clip recording mode
• This mode will not function when the interval recording, 
one-shot recording, loop recording, or VFR recording 
functions are selected.
•  This mode will not function when the menu option REC 
SIGNAL is set to 1394.
• The menu and thumbnail operations are restricted as 
follows when combining to the clip. Press and hold the 
STOP button for about 2 seconds to stop combining to 
the clip when switching to this mode.
•  The following menu items cannot be changed.
  SYSTEM MODE, REC SIGNAL, CAMERA MODE, 
REC FORMAT, PC MODE, REC FUNCTION, 
  25M REC CH SEL
 NOTE
You can change the VFR menu option to ON using the 
scene dial or menu, even while compiling to a clip is 
in progress. When you do so, the compiling process 
is stopped, and a new clip will be created with each 
recording operation thereafter.
•  The following Menu items, related to the reading/
writing of the SD memory card and reading of the 
settings file, cannot be executed.
  LOAD/SAVE/INIT in SCENE FILE, all options in 
CARD FUNCTIONS, CAC CARD READ in LENS 
SETUP, USER FILE and MENU INIT in OTHER 
FUNCTIONS
•  The following thumbnail menu items cannot be 
selected and executed.
OPERATION→ COPY
OPERATION → DEVICE SETUP → PROXY
•  The processing time to complete the recording may 
take a little more time than normally to allow the clip to 
be combined with subsequent recordings.
•  The fade process does not work on discontinuous audio 
during playback where the recordings are combined 
within the clip.
•  If non-linear editing software is used on clips with 
multiple combined recordings, the software may not 
operate normally (as of Apr. 2010).
  For the latest information on software that has been 
confirmed to work with these types of clips, visit the 
support desk at the following website.
  http://pro-av.panasonic.net/
PROXY Recording Function 
(Optional)
Installing an optional video encoder card (AJ-YAX800G) in 
P2 card slot 2 makes it possible to record MPEG4 format 
video, time code data and other real-time data to P2 cards 
or SD memory cards simultaneous with camera recording 
of video and audio.
 NOTE
Insert the video encoder card when the camera is turned off.
For details, refer to the supplied User’s Guide of the video 
encoder card.

ChapterRecordingandPlayback
Hot Swap Recording
With a P2 card in each card slot it is possible to make 
one continuous recording that spans two cards. And by 
removing any card other than that being recorded, you can 
make continuous recording on 2 or more cards (hot swap 
recording).
Note that recognition of a P2 card may be delayed 
depending on when it is inserted in an empty card slot 
(for example, immediately after pre-recording or when a 
recording continues from one card to the next). P2 cards 
should be inserted when there is still 1 minute or more time 
left on the card that is being recorded.
 NOTE
This function is not compatible with hot-swap playback.
REC REVIEW Function
•   Pressing the RET button on the lens after a recording will 
automatically locate and play back the last two seconds 
of the most recent clip. Holding down the RET button on 
the lens will allow you to play back up to 10 seconds. 
Use this function to check that recording is performed 
normally. The camera returns to recording standby mode 
after playback. If the clip is short, holding down the RET 
button after a return to the beginning of the clip will not 
result in playback of the clip before the current clip.
•   You can use menu options USER MAIN, USER1 and 
USER2 to assign the REC REVIEW function to a user 
button. Select these options from the SW MODE screen.
  NOTE
•  Note that a backup recording performed on a backup device 
connected to the DVCPRO/DV or SDI OUT connector will also 
record video played back using the REC REVIEW function.
•  In one-clip recording mode, the beginning of a clip is not 
used as the start position for playback after returning as 
far as possible with the REC REVIEW function or starting 
playback while recording is paused. Instead, playback starts 
from the start point of the most recent recording operation.
Shot Marker (SHOT MARK) 
Recording Function
This function can be used to distinguish a clip from other 
clips by adding a thumbnail to each clip.
This also makes possible to display or play back the 
marked clips only.

but not during playback.
•  Shot marks cannot be set or deleted for video data created 
in a single hot-swap recording session consisting of multiple 
clips unless all the P2 cards that contain the video data 
for the entire session are inserted. In clips that consist of 
multiple clips like the one above, shot marks can be added 
only to the first clip of video data.
Text Memo Recording Function
Use this function to add text memos anywhere in the video 
during clip recording or playback.
This makes it possible to display thumbnails only of clips 
with text memos, or to display thumbnails and time codes 
of text memo positions in order, to play back clips from text 
memo points and select and copy only the sections you 
want.

*1 24P and 30P indicate recording at 23.98P and 29.97P, respectively, while 60P and 60i indicate recording at 59.94P and 
59.94i, respectively. Native mode records active frames only.
*2  Recording times are indicated for a single 64 GB P2 card. Two cards double the recording time.
 
Since native VFR mode records only active frames, the recording time and actual shooting time differ.
Example:     In 24PN recording, shooting at a frame rate of 60 frames will result in a shooting time of 24/60 (0.4 times).
 
In 24PN recording, shooting at a frame rate of 12 frames will result in a shooting time of 24/12 (2 times).
