Take a Still JPEG
Still JPEG Image . It is optional, but re commended, to take a reference still of the scene:
With the TS3 in Live Mode (not Recording or Reviewing a recording) either click on the Trigger
Bu tt on or click on “Snapshot...” in the Camera menu.
A dialog box will appear asking where to store the image. Select the storage media you wish to use.
(The image will be saved in <storage device>/dcim/100fastc.)
To begin Recording, Click the Arm Button:
The Arm Bu tt on will turn from green to brown (see “Table 8-2: Camera Control Bu tt ons”) and the
camera begins recording into its circular bu ff er (see “Application n ote 3: Trigger Position and th e
Circular Bu ff er” on page 97 for an explanation of th e circular bu ff er). The Camera LED will change
from Green (LIve) to slowly flashing Ambe r . It will record for an indefini t e period of time u n til it s ets
a Trigger. (See “8-4 Configuring th e Trigger” on page 64.)
If the Arm Bu tt on is pressed a second tim e , the Recording will abort. The bu tt on and the LED
will return to green.
The recording state is indicated by a progress bar at the bo
tt om of the image window. Numbers to
the right of the progress bar represent the number of recorded / post-trigger / total frames.
When all of the pre-trigger frames have been recorded, the progress bar stops and flashes blue/ r ed.
Note: If the TS3 is triggered before the pre-trigger portion of th e bu ff er is full, it will immediately
cease taking pre-trigger frames, record frame “0” and progress to the post-trigger portion of th
recording. When complete, the recording will have contiguous f r ames, with the full complement
of post -trigger frames, but fewer pre-trigger frames. (See “8-4 Configuring th e Trigger” on page
64.)
