On Recording
Intermittent recording
Intermittent recording records only one image per second extending recording
time. Entering a recording trigger during intermittent recording interrupts
intermittent recording and starts normal recording. Normal recording includes
prerecording so intermittent recording and prerecording of normal recording may
overlap during prerecording. When a recording stop criteria other than the [STOP]
button are met, intermittent recording starts after postrecording.
Intermittent recording
Normal recording
Under the following conditions, pressing the [STOP] button does not stop recording.
• About the first five seconds after intermittent recording transitions to normal
recording (not including prerecording)
• The first five seconds (approx.) after normal recording transitions to intermittent
recording

Prerecording
Notes:
• When both intermittent recording and power-on recording are set to "ON",
intermittent recording starts in the intermittent recording mode when the
recorder is turned on. (When intermittent recording mode is set to "OFF",
normal recording starts.)
• When recording stops after the Rec Continue Time elapses, intermittent
recording starts without activating postrecording.
• When prerecording time is set to something other than "0", and a recording
trigger starts normal recording during intermittent recording, the prerecording
time is automatically set to start after the intermittent recording start time.
• The [REC] lamp lights during postrecording after a transition from normal to
intermittent recording.
• The Rec Continue Time setting does not function outside of a recording trigger.
