3.5.1. START Mode
In the START trigger mode, the camera starts recording at the moment the REC key is
pressed and continues recording until the memory is full, and automatically stops
recording. This mode is useful when you know for sure when the anticipated event will
occur. If your camera has a recording capacity of 2 seconds, for example, the camera
records the high-speed event for two seconds after the REC key is pressed, as shown
below.
Here is how to record in the START mode:
1. As discussed in Section 3.5, make sure that the camera is in the LIVE mode, and
select the START trigger mode.
2. Press the REC READY key on the keypad. The camera is now in the READY
mode. Make sure that the [LIVE] indication on the screen has changed to
[READY].
3. At the moment your interested event is coming up, press the REC key on the
keypad. Note that the [READY] indication changes to [REC], indicating the camera
is recording, and then it turns to [LIVE] when recording ends.
