*Subject to change without notice Atomos Shogun – User Manual Edition 1: December 2014 28
AtomosAnti-ShockTechnology
Spinning disks are very reliable in a controlled environment where
movement and vibration are minimal and within the capabilities of the
devices. They are ideal for low-cost recording, but will suffer reduced
performance if they are jolted or receive a sudden impact.
Should one of these events occur, the Shogun will sense the hard disk
slowdown. If there is a break in the recording it will detect the number of
frames involved and will then continue to record when it is safe to do so.
This means that even if you suffer a momentary break in your recording,
the video capture will continue without any intervention from you, the
user.
It is obviously important for you to know that you have suffered from an
interrupted recording and the user interface will display a warning (in the
form of a Kangaroo sign) clearly above the disk-capacity display on the
main screen.

To remove “Skippy” warning, simply touch the icon and it will
disappear.

In the event of an interrupted recording, when you restart the Shogun, or
enter playback mode, you will be presented with a menu that gives you
the option to recover immediately, or recover it later.
If you recover later, every time you put the disk in, or start up the Shogun,

If the drive is broken, or has become corrupted, then we will not be
able to recover the le and we recommend that you try third-party
