NOTE
t
When this function is used, each of the two P2 cards must have at least one minute of free space.
t
The remaining free space of the P2 card displayed in the mode check screen indicates the standard recording time in accordance with the recording
format. When loop recording is stopped immediately after an old recording is erased, the time recorded on the card is sometimes less than the
indicated time.

Pre-recording and one-clip recording will not operate.
t
It may take time for recording to stop. The subsequent operation is not accepted until the P2 memory card access LED status changes from blinking to
illuminating.
t
During loop recording P2 memory card access LEDs of all P2 cards used for recording are illuminated or flash orange. Loop recording stops when
these P2 cards are removed. Be careful.
t
Loop recording may stop when the input reference signal of the generator lock is disrupted during loop recording.
