Starting and Stopping Recording
Stopping Recording
Setting criteria determine when recording stops. Settings that affect when
recording stops include the stop timer setting for Rec Continue Time and the
presence of the recording trigger level signal. The [STOP] buttons on the recorder
and Remote Control Panel both operate the same way.

The postrecording function continues to record video after the recording stop
trigger event. The amount of time to continue recording after the stop-recording
event can be set from the Remote Control Panel.
Notes:
• Continuous video and audio from starting to stopping recording, and including
prerecording and postrecording periods, are recorded as one file on the P2 card.
• If recording time exceeds 17 hours, or if the size of one file would exceed 4
GB, the data is automatically split into multiple files during recording.
• Once recording starts, it may not be possible to stop it during the first five
seconds (approx.). Pressing the [STOP] button during this period causes the
[REC] lamp to blink for about one second as recording continues.
• Pressing the [STOP] button when recording is already stopped also causes
the [REC] lamp to blink for about one second.
• When recording is stopped by the stop timer at the end of the Rec Continue
Time, the postrecording function is disabled.
• After recording is started by a level trigger signal, it continues for at least one
minute regardless of changes to the signal level. During this period, you can
press the [STOP] button to interrupt the recording.
• If the [REC] button was pressed multiple times and the recording trigger set
as the edge signal had multiple active edges, Rec Continue Time is applied to
the last button press and active edge.
• Intermittent recording does not stop due to the Rec Continue Time.
