Loop recording

This function successively records to two microP2 memory cards inserted in the microP2 memory card slots.
When there is no more free space on the card, recording returns to the first card, and recording is continued while erasing existing data already saved on that card.
For details, refer to “Dividing clips recorded on P2 cards”.

Check the settings of each item in the main menu → [SYSTEM MODE].

For details on system modes in which the loop recording function can be used, refer to the table in “System modes and recording functions”.

For details on menu operations, refer to “Setting menu basic operations”.

Set [LOOP] in the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [RECORDING].

Press the <REC> button.

Recording is started.
To stop recording, press the <REC> button again.
To clear settings, set [NORMAL] in the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [RECORDING].
When [OFF] is set in the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [RECORDING SETTING] → [RECORDING HOLD], loop recording settings are cleared by turning off the camera.
[L-REC] is displayed while recording, and [L-] is displayed while paused. When loop recording cannot be performed due to memory shortage, etc., [LOOP] flashes.

NOTE

Use two microP2 memory cards with at least one minute of free space each.
The remaining free space of the card displayed in the mode check screen indicates the standard recording time in accordance with the recording format. When loop recording is stopped immediately after an old recording is erased, the time recorded on the card may be less than the indicated time.
Pre-recording and one-clip recording will not operate.
It may take time to stop recording. The subsequent operation is not accepted until the microP2 memory card access LED changes from blinking to illuminating.
During loop recording, all microP2 memory card access LEDs for the microP2 memory cards used for recording are lighted or blink orange. Loop recording stops when these microP2 memory cards are removed. Be careful.
Loop recording may stop when the input reference signal of the generator lock is disrupted during loop recording.
