Recording in RANDOM MANUAL Mode
Follow the below procedure to make a recording in the RANDOM MANUAL mode:
1. Following Section 3.5, make sure the camera is in the LIVE mode, and select the
RANDOM MANUAL mode.
2. Press the REC READY key on the keypad. The camera is now in the READY
mode. Make sure the indication [LIVE] on the screen has turned to [READY].
3. Press the REC key on the keypad for the first time, which will turn the camera into
ENDLESS recording mode. Note the indication on the screen has turned from
[READY] to [ENDLESS]. The camera is now recording images in the memory
going around from end to end repeatedly.
4. Press the REC key again when you know events of your interest are coming up
very soon. The camera records in the memory the preset number of frames of
images before and after the event, and stands by for a next trigger. In addition to
the REC key on the keypad, contact or TTL signals from external trigger input
terminals can be used to trigger the camera in the RANDOM MANUAL mode (see
Section 3.11 External Trigger Input).
5. The camera automatically stops recording when the memory is full (*). Make sure
the indication on the screen has turned from [ENDLESS] to [LIVE].
*Note: You can stop recording by pressing the REC READY key at any time during a
recording.
