Settings made in Loop Rec mode are maintained until changed.
You can turn the Loop Rec mode on and off by pressing the ASSIGN 1/
2 switch(es) to which the LOOP REC ON/OFF function is assigned.
For detailed information on the ASSIGN 1/2 switches, see "4-8-5 Assigning
Functions to the ASSIGN 1/2 Switches" on page 4-107.
Notes
• You can change the Loop Rec mode menu settings while recording;
any changes that you make, however, do not take effect until after the
recording operation is completed.
• In Loop Rec mode, VITC cannot be recorded when the F-RUN/SET/
R-RUN switch is set to the R-RUN position. To record VITC, set the
switch to the F-RUN position.
Camcorder operations in Loop Rec mode
The recording procedure in Loop Rec mode is basically the same as that
for normal recording. Please note, however, the following differences.
• When you record in Loop Rec mode, the picture you shoot is recorded
to tape after the Loop Rec time elapses. For this reason, the tape does
not stop immediately when you press the STOP button. After the
STOP button is pressed, the REC lamp in the viewfinder begins
flashing once every second and all tape operation buttons (EJECT,
REW, F FWD, PLAY, and STOP) stop functioning until the Loop
Rec time has elapsed. During this time, if you press the VTR START
button or VTR button on the lens, the recording starts again as if there
were no pause in recording.
• The time the tape stops after the STOP button is pressed equals the
Loop Rec time set. However, if you start recording within the set Loop
Rec time immediately after selecting the Loop Rec mode, changing the
Loop Rec time or performing playback or recording review, the picture
data for the duration of the Loop Rec time will not be stored in
