This function is to setup the recording parameters of recording setting pattern A to start recording manually. Ensure all the cameras are connected and time and date has been set correctly. Before you start recording, check the repeat recording settings in the <Data Management Setting for Main Memory> ( page 77) first, and then make the recording settings.

Make the manual recording settings on the <Set Recording Pattern A (Normal/Timer)>.

<Set Recording Pattern A (Normal/Timer)> can be used for manual or timer recording. <Set Recording Pattern B (Timer)> to <Set Recording Pattern D (Timer)> are used for timer recording only.
