Follow the below procedure to record in the RANDOM mode.
1. Following Section 3.5, make sure the camera is in the LIVE mode and the
RANDOM trigger mode has been selected.
2. Press the REC READY button on the keypad. The camera is now in the READY
mode. Make sure that the indication on the screen has turned from [LIVE] to
[READY].
3. Press the REC button on the keypad for the first time. Note the indication on the

very soon. The camera records in the memory the preset number of frames of

trigger the camera in the RANDOM mode (see Section 3.10 External Trigger

the indication on the screen has turned from [REC] to [LIVE].
