Pre-Record

When enabled, the Pre-Record setting continuously captures a cache of footage before recording starts. Select to have 4 to 30 seconds (incremented at two second intervals) of pre-record time added to the actual footage. When Pre-Record is enabled, you will not miss the start of a shot by being a little slow on the trigger.

• Pre-Record Duration: Select the pre-record time.
• Always trigger Pre-Record before recording : When selected, Pre-Record always starts when recording starts:
  1. Press PWR/REC to activate Pre-Record.
  2. Press PWR/REC a second time to start recording.
  3. Press PWR/REC a third time to stop recording.
• Trigger Pre-Record Now : When selected, the Pre-Record menu closes and Pre-Record mode starts.

NOTE: Always perform a Secure Format before using Pre-Record. A Secure Format restores the SSD back to factory out-of-box settings, and optimizes the SSD for Pre-Record.

NOTE: Pre-Record puts your SSD in a state of constant record. As with any SSD technology, continuously writing data over an extended period of time will impact the lifespan of the media.

NOTE: To use Pre-Record only for specific situations, map Pre-Record to a key (Menu > Settings > Setup > Keys > Record: Start Pre-Record). For more information, go to Keys.
