Setting the video format to MXF+MP4, you can record simultaneously clips in MXF format and clips in MP4format. When the video format is set to MXF+MP4, start and stop recording the MXF clip with the START/STOP button, as usual. You can select whether that action would automatically record also an MP4 clip (MXF+MP4 simultaneous recording) or whether to assign a separate control to start and stop recording MP4 clips (MP4 backup recording).
MXF+MP4 Simultaneous Recording: The camcorder will record the same scene in two different formats.
MP4 Backup Recording: The camcorder will keep recording continuously in MP4 format, ensuring that you never miss important shooting opportunities. You can set the [Bit Rate/Resolution] setting of MP4 clips to [3 Mbps 640x360] or link it to the video configuration of the MXF clips.
Simultaneous recording of MP4 clips is explained in the following sections.
1. Hold down the button on the <POWER> switch and slide the switch to <CAMERA>.
2. Press the <MENU> button.
3. Set the video format to [MXF (CF)+MP4  ]. Push the joystick up/down to select [  Other Functions] -> [Movie Format]. Select [MXF (CF)+MP4 ] and press <SET>.
 : Joystick  : In the following procedures, 'Press <SET>' refers to the action of pressing the joystick straight down to select the desired setting.
The time code running mode will change to [Free Run] and start advancing.
4. Open the MP4 [Bit Rate/resolution] submenu.
Select [ Other Functions] -> [MP4].
Select [Bit Rate/resolution].
Select one of the options below:
- [Linked to MXF]: Settings will be automatically determined according to the MXF bit rate and resolution.
- [3 Mbps 640x360]: Recording will be set to 3 Mbps 640×360.
Video configurations of MXF clips and MP4 clips are shown in the table below.
