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 this page, the actual amount of data recorded may be shorter.

Notes

After selecting the Loop Rec mode, immediately changing the Loop Rec time or performing playback or recording review, the picture data stored in memory before this operation are made to be unrecordable. This means that when you press the VTR START button or VTR button on the lens, the previously stored picture data will not be recorded.
