3. Click the "Add" button on the middle right side of the page to open an "Add Event" box.
4. Give the event a name, like "Test 1".
5. In the "Event Triggered by" field, click on Manual Trigger.
6. Below this, check "Enable This Event", "Enable Post-trigger Buffer", and "Record to SD Card".
7. To save your settings, click OK, or close the box by clicking on the red x icon at top right of the
box (in which case you will be asked if you want to save the data, to which you should reply OK).
The box will close and the new event will be listed in the list area of the Event Settings page.
8. Look at the "Post-trigger Buffer" at the bottom to make sure the buffer time is set to 10
seconds.
9. Click "Apply" to make sure all settings are saved.
10. Click the Live button to go back to the Live page.
11. Get ready to click the Trigger Event button at the bottom of the page. Before you do, see if you
can find something in the view screen that will give you a visual time marker. For instance, if
you can get your hand in front of the camera's lens, get ready to count down on your fingers.
12. Click the Trigger Event button and slowly count down on your fingers in front of the lens (if you
are able to do so – if not, try to find visual cues on the view screen that will help you to mark
the moment you pushed the trigger). The recording period will be as long as the buffer time
you selected – the default period is 10 seconds.
13. Click the Playback button to open the Playback page.
14. There are different ways to search for recording files on the camera's SD card (i.e. the Playback
memory). For a recent recording like your test event, simply click the "Search" button under the
"Search by File" header.
15. If the SD card is active and formatted correctly, the recording folder's name (the recording day's
date) will appear in the Filename box at the bottom. Click on this folder to open it. If there are
sub-folders, click on the bottom one (the most recent would be at the bottom) until you can
click on a file that cannot open to another sub-level and shows data in the File Information box
to the right. This would be the file of the most recent recording event.
16. To play this file, click the Play button below the video box. The test footage you have recorded
should start playing. Play time should be 10 seconds if you left the Post-trigger Buffer as 10
seconds.
