Pre-Stored Picture Data (Loop Rec

 

 

Function) (When Using an HKDW-703

 

 

Extension Board)

 

 

By installing the optional HKDW-703 extension board (not supplied) in

 

 

the camcorder, the camcorder is able to constantly store a few seconds

 

 

(up to 7 seconds for the 59.94I format model or up to 8 seconds for the

 

 

50I/25PsF format model) 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.

 

 

Setting the Loop Rec time/Loop Rec mode

 

 

To record in Loop Rec mode, you need to turn on Loop Rec mode and

 

 

set the picture data storage time (Loop Rec time) using the USER menu.

 

 

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 HKDW-

 

 

703’s memory and recorded when you press the VTR START button or

 

 

VTR button on the lens.
