Estimating the possible recording during when using the Timer
Please note when using the Timer that there may be instances where, because of recording interval, image quality, and audio recording settings, there is insufficient recording space on the uint’s hard disk drive to complete the Timer recording as programmed.
Please note that when the recording interval setting differs on the RECORDING SET UP screen and TIMER PROGRAM screen, the possible recording duration will differ from the duration displayed in ESTD TIME on the RECORDING SETTING screen.
When setting the Timer for multiple programs, please refer to the Recording time table on page 71 to confirm the amount of hard disk space the recording duration will take up under different setting conditions.
