(default setting: 3 seconds).

Synchronized recording

Synchronized recording basically means that recording
will begin automatically when a signal is received, and
will stop when the signal ends.
Use the SYNC REC key to select the synchronization
mode. The synchronization mode determines the auto-
mated start and stopping of recording when a signal is
received.
The SYNC indicator appears on the display.
