Ace Series: Loop Recording Mode
Ace Series: Loop Recording Mode
Applicable Models: Ace, Ace Pro, and Ace Pro 2
The Loop Recording mode helps you flexibly meet long-duration recording needs – it supports custom loop durations, saves footage in minute-long segments, and only overwrites videos shot in the same mode. The instructions below detail the steps for using this mode, helping you easily unlock a convenient recording experience.
Instructions
- Tap the "Shooting Mode" icon in the lower left of the camera screen. Swipe left or right to switch to the "Loop Recording" mode. Set the desired loop duration as needed (options include 5 minutes, 10 minutes, infinite, etc.).
- Check the remaining recordable time displayed in the upper left of the screen. Ensure the memory card has sufficient free space. It is recommended to reserve at least "Loop Duration + 1 minute" of storage space.
- Press the Shutter button to start recording. The camera saves footage in 1-minute segments. Once the stored footage reaches the set loop duration, newly recorded footage will automatically overwrite the oldest video segments.
Please note: If the memory card has insufficient free space, the system will record until the storage space is used up and then stop automatically, and will not overwrite older files.
Example: If the loop duration is set to 10 minutes, but the memory card only has storage space for 9 minutes remaining, the camera will store 9 full 1-minute videos and then stop recording automatically.
FAQ
1. Does the Loop Recording mode automatically delete other files on the memory card?
No. The camera only overwrites video files generated in the "Loop Recording" mode itself. It will not delete other manually saved files or files from other shooting modes on the memory card.
2. How can I make the Loop Recording mode function like a dash cam?
You need to complete the following two settings:
- Set Loop Duration: Select "Infinite" ("∞" icon) for the "Loop Duration". The camera will then record continuously, overwriting the oldest video segments, until the memory card is nearly full.
- Enable Charge and Record: Swipe down from the top of the camera screen to access the "Shortcut" menu > select "Settings" (Gear icon ⚙) > tap "Power-off Charging Settings" > select "Charge and Record". After this setup, the camera will automatically start loop recording when external power is connected.
