Solution
Setting the video format to MXF+MP4, you can record simultaneously clips in MXF format and clips in MP4 format. 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>.
