LOOP REC recording
With this function, when the recording buffer is full, the recording will loop back to the beginning and
new contents will start overwriting the older contents of the buffer. Using LOOP REC, the recording will
always consist of the most recent minutes recorded. The size of the recording buffer is determined by
the amount of available space on both of the P2 cards. To use LOOP REC function, set “LOOP REC” to
“ON” on the setting menu “RECORDING SETUP” screen. (Page 91)
Once the unit is turned OFF, LOOP REC function will be disabled (OFF) next time the unit is turned ON.
To perform LOOP REC, use P2 cards with remaining memory of 1 minute or more respectively.
While performing LOOP REC, all P2 card access LEDs light orange. If you remove either of the P2 card,
LOOP REC stops.
When the LOOP REC mode is active, “LOOP” is displayed on the first line of the screen display.
However, LOOP REC cannot be performed if only 1 card is inserted in the LOOP REC mode. In this
case, “
P2
LACK” and “L-” blinks.
The remaining time for the P2 card in the LOOP REC mode is approximate.
Shot marks cannot be added or released during LOOP REC.
Text memos cannot be recorded during LOOP REC.
When selecting 1394 input, LOOP REC is not available.
