Notes
• The speed will slow according to the volume of data being
written because of limitations of the CompactFlash
capacity. For that reason, the following usages are
recommended when operating loop recording;
– Use a new CompactFlash (more than 300x).
– Format a CompactFlash before starting loop recording.
• CAM LINK is turned OFF automatically while in the
interval and loop recording modes. Press the REC button to
starting recording.
• The data recorded by loop recording mode is updated at
regular intervals. When updating the data, the whole
recording time may be shortened.
• Updates the data regardless of update intervals when
starting recording by a camcorder during loop recording
mode in HDV.
