Pre Rec Mode

How many times have you missed a crucial moment because you didn’t hit the record button in time? With Pre Rec enabled,

the camcorder continuously buffers up to 5 seconds of video, so that when recording is started the cached video is included in the recorded file, giving you up to 5 second head start.
