• To use the camera’s DC IN 12V terminal when the recorder is attached

to the camera, remove the cover next to the CDX-36150 Recorder’s DC IN terminal.

Powering the CDX-36150 Recorder

Connect the power supply to the CDX-36150 Recorder before turning on the camera. While the CDX-36150 Recorder is docked with the camera, power is supplied to the camera from the power source connected to the CDX-36150 Recorder. You can also connect a power source directly to the camera’s DC IN 12V terminal.

1 Press the camera’s Q button to turn off the camera.

2 Connect the power supply (DC IN or battery) to the recorder.

NOTES

Initializing a Capture Drive

For details about the recording media and how to insert a Capture Drive 2.0 into the recorder, refer to the CDX36150 Recorder’s Getting Started Guide. The first time you use a Capture Drive with the camera, initialize it first using the camera’s menu.

1 Set the main recording format to [RAW ( Capture Drive)] or [ProRes ( Capture Drive)].

[Rec/Media Setup] (3) > [Main Rec Format] > [RAW ( Capture Drive)] or [ProRes ( Capture Drive)]

Selecting the Main Recording Format

2 Initialize the Capture Drive in the recorder.

[Rec/Media Setup] (3) > [Initialize Media] > [ Capture Drive]

3 Camera menu: Press both [FORMAT] buttons simultaneously.

Monitoring menu: Select [OK] and then press SET.

• The Capture Drive will be initialized for use with the recording format selected in step 1.

• Initializing a Capture Drive will permanently erase all the data it contains. Lost data cannot be recovered. Make sure you save important recordings in advance.

• Observe the following precautions while the camera is accessing the Capture Drive in the recorder. Failure to do so may result in permanent data loss.

- Do not turn off the camera or recorder. Do not remove/disconnect the battery or other power source.

- Do not open the recorder’s Capture Drive bay.

Initializing Recording Media

• You can check the capacity and remaining available recording time of the Capture Drive on the

[MEDIA] screen.

• A Capture Drive cannot be used to record clips in different recording formats (RAW and ProRes).

• When you initialize a Capture Drive with the main recording format set to [ProRes ( Capture Drive)], the recordable space will be reduced to approximately half of the Capture Drive's nominal capacity to ensure a highly reliable format thanks to the use of multi-stream processing.

Recording

After the recorder is ready and the Capture Drive has been initialized for use with the camera, you can use it to record the camera’s RAW data. The selection of main recording format (including the recording media used) is explained in the camera’s Instruction Manual. Recording is performed using the camera’s REC button, as

explained in the same chapter. ?

Recording Video

This section will cover only those aspects that are different from what is explained in the camera’s Instruction Manual when using the CDX-36150 Recorder.

Before using the CDX-36150 Recorder to make important recordings for the first time, make test recordings using the video configuration(s) you plan to use to check that the camera and recorder are operating correctly.

Video Configuration

The following video configuration combinations are available when using the CDX-36150 Recorder to record the camera’s RAW data. The audio recorded will be 4-channel linear PCM audio (24 bit, 48 kHz). ?
