The following table shows the approximate number of seconds worth of

be recorded from memory. However, when changing from SAVE to
STBY, or under the special situations explained in the notes on this page,
the actual amount of data recorded may be shorter.

Notes
• After selecting the Loop Rec mode, immediately changing the Loop
Rec time or performing playback or recording review, the picture data
stored in memory before this operation are made to be unrecordable.
This means that when you press the VTR START button or VTR
button on the lens, the previously stored picture data will not be
recorded.
