Canon 7428B002 User Manual

Pre-recording Mode

When pre-recording mode is activated, the camcorder starts recording continuously into a temporary memory of
approximately 3 seconds so when you press the START/STOP button, the clip will contain also approximately 3
seconds of video and audio recorded before you pressed the button. This is especially useful when it is difficult
to predict when to start recording.

NOTES

• During pre-recording mode, if the camcorder is left in record pause mode for approximately 1 hour, a message

will be displayed (A 153). After about 1 minute, pre-recording will be deactivated automatically.

• Pre-recording mode cannot be used with double slot recording, deleting the last clip recorded or reviewing a

recording.

• During pre-recording mode, the time code will be recorded with the running mode (A 70) set to [Free Run],

regardless of the previous setting. When the time code is recorded, it will include the 3 seconds before the
START/STOP button was pressed. When pre-recording mode is deactivated, the running mode will return to
its previous setting.
