    When using the devices with Version 1.05 or lower

        If you use Test Tone while you remain in Camera mode, the above-mentioned problem occurs on rare occasions
        and the symptom continues until you switch to Playback mode or reboot the camera.

        Every time you finish using Test Tone,

         •  “turn off Color Bar (turn off Test Tone)” for the moment =>“switch to Playback mode” => switch back to Camera mode.

         •   Or “turn the power off and then on again”.

        Then start recording.

    When using the devices with Version 1.05 or lower

        The P-REC/REC indicator(*) lights in Red under certain modes (in recording, when PRE-REC mode is just enabled,
        and when accessing SD memory card, excluding playback mode).

        Since REC/PAUSE status cannot be checked with the SD/REC indicator on the WEB screen
        when PRE-REC is turned ON. In this time, See the Tally lamp on the recorder to check REC/PAUSE status.

  • When 1080i signal is supplied to the AG-MDR25 recorder via SDI, and record it in AVCHD PS (1080p) mode. Will the signal be converted from i (interlace) to p (progressive) in the recorder?

     

    Interlaced signal is not converted in the recorder. Supply 1080p signal when record in AVCHD PS mode. The AG-MDR25 recorder warns as the format is unmatched between input signal and system format when 1080i signal is supplied in PS mode.
