Rec time
To record in Loop Rec mode, you need to turn on Loop Rec mode and
set the picture data storage time (Loop Rec time).

the number of seconds of picture data that will be stored in the BKDW-
703's memory and recorded when you press the VTR START button or
VTR button on the lens. The following table shows the approximate
number of seconds worth of picture data (counting back from the time

explained in the notes on next page, the actual amount of data recorded
may be shorter.
