Loop & Forward allows you to record using the Clip method, without starting the clip until the action starts.
You can get everything set up, stow the recorder, and get yourself over to the starting line without the need to
record fifteen minutes of waiting time which you’re going to want to edit out later anyway. When the gun’s
about to sound, hit the tag key on the remote and real recording starts.
Notice that when you do start to capture video, some of the preceding action is captured just as it is when
using the Loop method. This helps ensure that you capture all the action even if you don’t remember to hit
Tag until right after the start. Just remember to set the Loop Record Time to a large enough interval to make
sure you’re covered.
NOTE
: Loop and forward creates two clip files, one for the segment immediately preceding the current
segment and one for the current segment plus all of the remaining video. The figure below shows the two clip
files, the XML tag file, and the two tag clip files that result from the example in the Loop & Forward
illustration.
The first clip file in the DCIM directory is the segment that precedes the first tag, and the second clip file which
starts 30 seconds later is for the remainder of the video. Notice that there are two tag files. The first time
TAG
was pressed it started the storage of the video but did not create a tag clip. The second and third presses of
TAG
did create tag clip files and they are associated with the second main clip file. All three of the tags are
recorded in the XML tag file.
