Pre-Record

Use the Pre-Record menu to enable or disable Pre-Record, and to adjust the length of the Pre-Recorded clip.

     

Pre-Record allows you to continually capture images to a small amount of memory while waiting to begin recording. This allows you to capture unexpected events such as, a whale breaching the water, or an athlete scoring a goal. When you finish recording, the pre-recorded clip is added to the beginning of the recording.

You can set the Pre-Record clip to record from half a second up to 30 seconds, depending on the format, file type, resolution, and quality. The default setting is 2 seconds at the default Project Time Base of 23.98 FPS.

For more information, refer to Pre-Recording Content.
