The POV.HD supports 4
Record Methods
. A complete discussion of what each
Record Method
does as well as
guidelines for selecting the right
Record Method
is provided in
Understanding the POV.HD Video Record

Clip
records video like a standard video recorder. Once you start recording, video is captured continuously
until you stop recording or the SDHC card is full.
Loop
records a short clip every time you press
TAG
(or
REC/TAG
on the remote). The saved clip, referred
to as a loop, includes action immediately before you press
TAG
, as well as action immediately following.
Loop & Forward
records no video until you press
TAG
(or
REC/TAG
on the remote) for the first time. Then
a loop is captured and all action following that first tag is captured as well.
Still Photo
captures digital photos as JPEG's.
To set the
Record Method
, use the
Settings
menu.
When you use the
Loop
or
Loop & Forward
methods,
Loop Record Time
determines the length of the saved
video loops. The actual length of a saved loop is never less than the
Loop Record Time
, but it can be longer.
