  • Page 44: Random Reset Mode

    Chapter. 3 Recording 3.5.6. RANDOM RESET Mode RANDOM RESET mode is explained here by comparing its operation with the normal mode. RANDOM RESET mode is a mode to improve the temporal accuracy of the record start timing and the timing of the trigger input, where, to put it simply, with the input of the trigger signal, at the timing that it is input, the camera’s record timing is reset.

  • Page 45: Random Center Mode

    The number of trigger inputs that can be accepted in RANDOM CENTER mode is a maximum of 10. Set the number of trigger inputs in advance, and the recording operation can be ended when that amount of trigger inputs is finished. FASTCAM SA2 / SA2 RV Hardware Manual...

  • Page 46: Random Manual Mode

    Chapter. 3 Recording 3.5.8. RANDOM MANUAL Mode RANDOM MANUAL mode is a trigger mode, similar to RANDOM mode, where each time a trigger is input only a predetermined number of frames are saved to memory. The difference between this mode and RANDOM mode is that in RANDOM mode the number of specified frames are recorded directly after the trigger input, whereas in RANDOM MANUAL mode, at the timing of the trigger input, the frames before and after the trigger, each specified as desired, remain in the recording memory.
