Choosing a Record Method
Clip
–
Loop
and
Loop
&
Forward
provide
advantages
under
some
circumstances,
but
generally,
recording
using
the
Clip
method
is
the
simplest
and
most
effective
approach.
Using
tags
while
recording
with
the
Clip
method
supports
the
convenience
provided
by
Save
Tags
and
Compile
Tags,
and
when
you’ve
recorded
an
entire
event
using
Clip,
you
still
have
footage
of
everything
for
manual
editing,
if
you
choose
to
do
so.
For
any
recording
that
will
last
only
a
few
minutes,
there
is
no
reason
to
use
any
method
other
than
Clip.
Loop
&
Forward
–
Loop
&
Forward
supports
the
same
in-‐field
editing
capabilities
as
Clip
and
has
one
possibly
significant
benefit.
It
allows
you
to
get
set
up
and
stow
the
recorder
long
before
you
start
the
actual
recording
process.
For
example,
if
you’re
participating
in
a
large,
downhill
mountain
bike
event
involving
hundreds
of
riders,
you
can
get
the
camera
set
up
and
ready
to
go
before
you
join
the
pack
at
the
starting
area.
When
it
gets
close
to
starting
time,
press
the
REC/TAG
button
on
the
wireless
remote
one
time
and
recording
will
start.
After
that
just
hit
REC/TAG
each
time
you
want
to
tag
some
of
the
action.
Loop
–
The
results
produced
by
Loop
are
similar
to
the
results
you
get
by
running
Save
Tags
on
a
tagged
clip.
Every
time
you
press
Tag,
you
will
end
up
with
a
short
clip
that
captures
the
action
near
that
tag.
But
there
are
some
important
differences
between
Loop
recording
and
applying
Save
Tags
to
a
tagged
video
made
with
Clip
or
Loop
and
Forward.
Based
on
the
comparisons
in
the
table
below,
the
Loop
Record
Method
is
a
better
choice
if
you
are
recording
a
long
event
with
a
limited
number
of
periods
you
want
to
record,
especially
if
the
space
left
on
the
SDHC
card
is
limited.
Loop
is
also
the
correct
choice
if
you
want
to
be
able
to
see
just
the
Loop
clips
on
the
recorder.
However,
note
that
if
you
use
Compile
Tags
you
will
get
a
Highlight
Clip
of
all
the
tagged
bits,
and
the
Highlight
Clip
can
be
viewed
on
the
recorder.
In
all
other
cases,
making
a
complete,
tagged
recording
using
Clip
or
Loop
&
Forward
provides
more
choices
in
how
to
handle
the
recorded
video
clip
after
you
make
it.
i
When you use Loop & Forward, the recorder will not time out and shut itself off
after you initially press REC, no matter how long you wait until pressing REC/TAG
to start actual video capture.
