Recording
You can continue recording video for a fixed
interval by alternately recording and deleting
video using two SxS memory cards.
Preparatory settings
Set [Segment Loop Rec] (page 51) in the
[VIDEO SET] menu to [On]. Loop recording is
enabled, and “SL-REC” appears on the screen
(page 9).
Set the recording retention time in [Segment
Duration].
In loop recording, the recording time that is
retained of a clip varies depending on the
recording status of the memory card when
recording was stopped. When [15~35min] is
selected in [Segment Duration], a minimum of
15 minutes and a maximum of 35 minutes is
retained. When [15~35min] is selected, a
minimum of 25 minutes free capacity is required
on each SxS memory card. When [30~65min] is
selected, a minimum of 40 minutes free capacity
is required.
Notes
• Use SxS memory cards for loop recording. Recording
to other memory cards using a media adapter is not
supported.
• Loop recording is not supported in FAT mode.
Starting loop recording
Press and hold the REC button, and press the
PLAY/PAUSE button.
Recording starts and “zREC” appears on the
screen.
Pressing the STOP/EE button stops recording and
closes the clip. Simultaneously, the [Segment
Loop Rec] setting is set to [Off].
If the REC button and PLAY/PAUSE button are
pressed simultaneously during loop recording,
the recorder switches to normal recording and
continues recording the clip seamlessly. After
switching, the “SL-REC” indication on the screen
disappears.
Notes
• In loop recording, video on the SxS memory cards is
repeatedly recorded and deleted, shortening the rewrite
life of the cards. Accordingly, check the remaining life
of the memory cards periodically.
• If using loop recording continuously for longer than
one week, restart the recorder once per week. Also, if
the loop stops operating or other abnormality appears
during operation, restart the recorder.
Restricted operations
If you perform any of the following operations
while loop recording, the recorder will switch to
normal recording and the [Segment Loop Rec]
setting will be set to [Off] automatically.
• Switching the memory card slot
• Ejecting media that is not recording
While standing by to record, the [Last Clip DEL]
function for deleting the last recorded clip and the
[All Clips DEL] function for deleting all clips
from an SxS memory card are available.
For clip deletion on the thumbnail screen, see
“Deleting Clips” on page 39.
To delete using the assignable button
Assign the [Last Clip DEL] function to one of the
assignable buttons (page 26) in advance.
Press the assignable button to which you have
assigned [Last Clip DEL], and select [Execute] to
delete the last recorded clip from the SxS memory
card.
To delete using the Setup menu
Select [Last Clip DEL] in [Clip] (page 59) in the
[OTHERS] menu, select [Execute], then select
[Execute] again to delete the last recorded clip
from the SxS memory card.
Note
When Clip Continuous Recording is set to [On], [Last
Clip DEL] cannot be selected.
Deleting clips collectively
Select [All Clips DEL] in [Clip] (page 59) in the
[OTHERS] menu, select [Execute], then select
[Execute] again to delete all the clips from the
SxS memory card.
Notes
• If the SxS memory card contains clips of both of HD
Mode and SD Mode, only the clips of the currently
selected mode are deleted.
• Clips with the OK mark (page 25) cannot be deleted in
FAT mode. In UDF or exFAT mode, clips set to [Lock
Clip] (page 37) cannot be deleted.
