Newly added Loop Recording and Pre-Record Functions Loop Recording mode can capture video at selected periods (10/ 30/ 60 minutes) and then keep deleting the oldest file as storage reaches capacity. This function can be controlled remotely via network. The Pre-Record function ensures that sudden or important moment is never missed by adding the previous 3 seconds of material onto the file whenever REC is pressed. Time Code and Marker Functions Version 2.0 of the F-1 can now record time code with video regardless of whether the camera can embed timecode or not. Of course, Time code can also be re-generated within an HDV/DV stream. The Marker function stamps the video file with time code and/or recording time when the REC button is pressed during recording. This enables the ability to quickly locate scenes during editing.
