Recording in Full Auto Mode
Move the FULL AUTO switch to ON to change the camcorder to
full auto mode. In full auto mode, the camcorder automatically
sets the aperture, gain, shutter speed, and white balance. The
camcorder will continuously adjust the brightness and white
balance automatically*. In full auto mode, however, the focus

will be set to [±0] and the AGC limit (A 63) will be set to [Off/27 dB].
About MXF Clips
When the camcorder records an MXF clip, it also assigns a 6-character clip name consisting of a 2-character
prefix (letters or numerals) and 4 numerals (for example, “AA0001”). The last 4 numbers serve as a running
counter that increases every time a clip is recorded. You can set the initial clip name in advance using the
[w Other Functions] > [MXF] > [Clips] > [Title Prefix] and [Number Setting] settings. You cannot change
the clip name after the clip is recorded.
• MXF clips will be split in the following cases.
- When relay recording (A 42) is activated and the selected CF card becomes full, the recording will
continue as a separate relay clip on the other CF card.
- The video (stream) file in a clip will be split approximately every 2 GB for clips with a long recording time
(approximately every 1 GB during slow motion recording). Even in such case, playback will be
continuous.
• If you record using the custom picture and metadata settings, those settings will be recorded with the MXF
clip. For more details, refer to
Custom Picture Settings
(A 132) and
Using Metadata
(A 111).
About MP4 Clips
• MP4 clips are assigned consecutive file numbers that consist of 7 digits, like “100-0001”. The first 3 digits
indicate the folder where the file is saved and the last 4 digits are a unique identifier for each file. You can
select how the files are numbered (A 117).
• For scenes with a long recording time, the video (stream) file in a clip will be split in the following cases.
Even in such case, playback will be continuous. Using Data Import Utility (A 170), you can join such split
files and save them on a computer as a single clip.
- When the file size reaches approximately 4 GB.
- After recording a single clip continuously for approximately 29 minutes 50 seconds (frame rate set to
59.94P) or for approximately 59 minutes 50 seconds (other frame rates).
• A single MP4 recording operation can go on continuously for about 12 hours. Then the camcorder will stop
automatically.
