Flow Effect Shooting

This way of shooting provides a flow effect and may, for instance, be used to shoot a subject on a far side of a road with a stream of fast-moving cars as the flow, in such a way that the stationary subject comes into focus though the cars.

Loop Recording

When two or more P2 card slots contain cards, this function allows the target P2 card to be switched in order. Even when the free space of a P2 card is used up, this function continues recording while erasing existing data.

To use this function, the menu option LOOP REC MODE must be set to “ON”. The option LOOP REC MODE can be found in the <REC FUNCTION> screen on the SYSTEM SETTING page.

Data are recorded by connecting the unrecorded sections on the P2 card (in the sequence of A to B to C). When the remaining recording capacity is less than 30 seconds, A is deleted, and data are recorded on C up to nearly full, and then new data are recorded (D).

Notes

When the loop recording capability is used, each P2 card must have at least 1 minute of free space.

During loop recording, the P2 card access LEDs for all target P2 cards illuminate in orange. Note that if any of the target P2 card is removed, loop recording stops.

When the menu option LOOP REC MODE is set to “ON”, the viewfinder and display window both show “LOOP”. However, when only one card is inserted, or when each card has less than 1 minute of free space, the loop recording capability does not work, even if the option LOOP REC MODE is set to “ON”. If this is the case, the indication “LOOP” flashes in the viewfinder and on the display window.

When the menu option LOOP REC MODE is set to “ON”, the space remaining on the P2 card is displayed as an estimated recording time for the current recording format. When LOOP REC is stopped immediately after deleting an old recording, the actual time remaining may be shorter than the displayed time.

Recording and Playback: Loop Recording

When you set LOOP REC MODE to “ON”, VFR is set to “OFF”.

During native VFR recording and use of the INTERVAL REC function, the LOOP REC function is not available.

Terminating the Loop Recording Mode

You can terminate the loop recording mode by either: Turning off the POWER switch of unit; or

Setting the menu option LOOP REC MODE to “OFF”.
