PRE-RECORD
To set up Pre-Record, go to Menu > Settings > Recording > 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:
Press PWR/REC to activate Pre-Record.
Press PWR/REC a second time to start recording.
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: Audio is not recorded when Pre-Record is enabled.
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" on page 142 .
