Pre-recording Mode

When pre-recording mode is activated, the camcorder starts recording continuously into a temporary memory of approximately 3 seconds so when you press the START/STOP button, the clip will contain also approximately 3

84 seconds of video and audio recorded before you pressed the button. This is especially useful when it is difficult to predict when to start recording.

• During pre-recording mode, if the camcorder is left in record pause mode for approximately 1 hour, a message will be displayed (A153). After about 1 minute, pre-recording will be deactivated automatically.

• Pre-recording mode cannot be used with double slot recording, deleting the last clip recorded or reviewing a recording.
