When two P2 card slots contain cards, this function allows
the target P2 card to be switched in order. Even when the
free space of a P2 card is used up, this function continues
recording while erasing existing data.
To use this function, the menu option LOOP REC MODE
must be set to "ON". The menu item FLOOP REC MODE is
found in the <REC FUNCTION> screen on the SYSTEM
SETTING page.

Data is recorded by connecting the unrecorded sections on the
P2 card (in the sequence of A to B). When the remaining
recording space becomes zero, A is erased and new data is
recorded (C).
It is possible to record in intervals of one frame as the
shortest length by using the internal memory of the unit.
To use this option, set the interval recording mode, REC
TIME, PAUSE TIME and TAKE TOTAL TIME for the menu
option INTERVAL REC MODE. When the settings are
finalized, TOTAL REC TIME needed on the P2 card is
automatically calculated and displayed. The menu item
INTERVAL REC MODE is found in the <REC FUNCTION>
screen on the SYSTEM SETTING page.

Notes
When the LOOP REC capability is used, each P2 card must
have at least one minute of free space.
During LOOP REC, the P2 CARD ACCESS LEDs for all target
P2 cards illuminate in orange. Note that if any of the target P2
card is removed, LOOP REC stops.
When the menu option LOOP REC MODE is set to ON, the
viewfinder and display window both show "LOOP".
However, when only one card is inserted, or when each card
has less than one minute of free space, the LOOP REC
capability does not work, even if the option LOOP REC
MODE is set to ON. If this is the case, the indication "LOOP"
flashes in the viewfinder and on the display window.
When the menu option LOOP REC MODE is set to "ON", the
space remaining on the P2 card is displayed as an estimated
recording time for the current recording format. When LOOP
REC is stopped immediately after deleting an old recording,
the actual time remaining may be shorter than the displayed
time.
LOOP REC function does not work when:
the INTERVAL REC MODE menu option is set to "ON" or
"ONE SHOT".
the ONE CLIP REC MODE menu option is set to "ON".
Native mode, 24P or 24PA mode is selected in the REC
FORMAT or CAMERA MODE menu option.
the REC SIGNAL menu option is set to "SDI".
