By installing the optional
3 the camcorder is able to constantly store a few seconds (up to 8 seconds) worth of the most current picture and sound data in the board’s memory. Thus, when you press the VTR START button or the VTR button on the lens, the recording starts with the data stored a few seconds before.
Turning Loop Rec mode on and off / Setting the Loop Rec time
To record in Loop Rec mode, you need to turn on Loop Rec mode and set the picture data storage time (Loop Rec time).
The Loop Rec time and VTR SAVE / STBY switch settings determine the number of seconds of picture data that will be stored in the BKDW- 703’s memory and recorded when you press the VTR START button or VTR button on the lens. The following table shows the approximate number of seconds worth of picture data (counting back from the time you begin recording) that will be recorded from memory. However, when changing from SAVE to STBY, or under the special situations explained in the notes on next page, the actual amount of data recorded may be shorter.
