How to use Loop Recording

GO Series: Loop Recording Mode

Applicable Models: GO 3, GO 3S and GO Ultra

When the Loop Recording Mode is enabled, the camera will record continuously for the preset duration and automatically overwrite earlier video clips, which can flexibly meet your long-duration recording needs. Below is an overview of the Loop Recording operation steps and common issues.

How to use Loop Recording

2. Set the loop duration

Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to enter the shooting specification settings page. Tap "Loop Duration" on the left side to set an appropriate loop duration.

Please note: You can refer to the remaining recordable length displayed in the upper left corner of the screen for your settings. Ensure the memory card has sufficient free space. It is recommended to reserve storage space for at least "Loop Duration + 1 minute".

3. Start recording

Press the shutter button to start recording. The camera will perform loop recording for your preset fixed duration, and video files will be saved in 1-minute segments.

Please note:

If the memory card has insufficient free space, the system will record until the storage space is nearly full 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. It will not delete other manually saved files or files from other shooting modes in the camera.

2. How can I make the Loop Recording Mode function like a dash cam?

The camera does not support the Dashcam Mode at present. If you are using GO Ultra, you can set the "Loop Duration" to unlimited "∞". The camera will continuously overwrite the earliest video clips during recording until the memory card is nearly full.
