One-shot recording

This mode records certain frames by setting. This mode is like a still camera mode.

Note) Files recorded during One-shot recording are collected together into a single file.

Loop Recording

If you are inserting 2 or more P2 cards into the slots, this mode lets you record indefinitely by successively switching cards until you are ready to stop. This is especially effective for shooting fixed-point observations.

*1) To pause Loop recording, you can stop recording using the Start/Stop trigger, but to release the Loop recording you need to select NORMAL in the REC FUNCTION settings.

*2) Use at least two P2 cards each has 1 minute or more of remaining recording time.

*3) Recording stops when either P2 card is removed.
