Protecting videos from being overwritten during loop recording
For the "Loop recording" mode, you can define a length of 3, 5 or 10 minutes for the video in the
menu. After that recording time, a new video file is automatically created. As you record videos,
the optional microSD memory card fills up. Once the storage space has been used up, the oldest
video in the current recording is automatically overwritten. This ensures that recording is always
possible, even when the storage space has actually all been used up.
It may be however that you wish to keep a particular scene and prevent it from being overwritten.
To do this, proceed as follows:
During video recording, press the Protect current video button (15).
Note that after the preset time of 3, 5 or 10 minutes, a new video will be recorded
which will be treated as loop recording again (in other words open to being
overwritten after the defined period of time).
If you set the loop recording to "Off", videos can be recorded until the inserted microSD memory
card is full. On the one hand, this guarantees that no existing recordings are overwritten, but on the
other hand no new videos can be recorded.
Taking photos
Once you have switched the device on, as described in the "Turning on and selecting the
operating mode" section on page 160, and selected photo capture mode, you can take photos
with or without the car mount during your journey.
1. If you are using the Dashboard Camera without the car mount, aim the Dashboard Camera at
the desired subject with the help of the display (13).
2. If necessary, select a larger or smaller section of the image (zoom) using the + (18) and
– (17) buttons. Press the + (18) button to bring the subject closer or the – button (17) to make
the subject appear further away.
3. Press the OK button (12) to take the photo.
The image will be saved automatically under a unique name.
During recording, different icons may appear on the display (13) informing you about the current
settings.
