3.4.3. END Mode
END mode is a trigger mode where the content recorded immediately before the trigger is input is
saved to memory. This mode is suitable for recording a high-speed phenomenon where it is hard to
predict when the important action will start and stop. For example, in a situation with a maximum
useable memory for two seconds of recording, the REC key is pressed as shown in the diagram
below, and the two seconds of high-speed video immediately before when the trigger was input are
saved.
