Start Recording (ARM Mode) Ring Buffer In the ARM mode, the Q2m continues recording images to the memory. The memory has a cyclic structure (ring buffer), and once that section of the memory is full, the old images are erased in the order from the first image recorded and the new images are overwritten. This operation continues until the trigger is input, when the overwrite recording is stopped ac- cording to the trigger input and trigger timing settings.
Trigger Input (REC Mode) Trigger Input (REC Mode) Input the trigger that matches the images to be photographed and then end recording.
