Pre Rec

By setting the number of seconds in the [Pre Rec Time], you can start recording video and audio before actual recording starts based on the [Pre Rec Time] setting.

When starting actual recording while the camera recorder is in Recording Standby (STBY BALP_P ) mode, you can start recording a few seconds earlier based on the [Pre Rec Time] setting.
