FRAME AVERAGING

Frame Averaging combines the specified number of frames into one frame, and averages the exposure time

for each of the original frames. The resulting frame has an effective integration time that is equal to the current

integration time.

For example, if you select 16 as the Frames to Process value, and set exposure to 1/48 sec, the resulting image

still has the exposure value of 1/48 sec, along with the effect of long-exposure.

You can use frame averaging to achieve the effect of long-exposure along with the benefits of reduced noise.

However, frame averaging does affect motion blur characteristics.

PRE-RECORD

When enabled, the Pre-Record setting continuously captures a cache of footage before recording starts. Select

to have 4–30 seconds (incremented at two second intervals) of pre-record time added to the actual footage.

When Pre-Record is enabled, you will not miss the start of a shot by being a little slow on the trigger.

 Pre-Record Duration: Select the pre-record time.

 Always trigger Pre-Record before recording: When selected, Pre-Record always starts when recording starts:

A. Press PWR/REC to activate Pre-Record.

B. Press PWR/REC a second time to start recording.

C. Press PWR/REC a third time to stop recording.

 Trigger Pre-Record Now: When selected, the Pre-Record menu closes and Pre-Record mode starts.

NOTE: Always perform a Secure Format before using Pre-Record. A Secure Format restores the SSD back to

factory out-of-box settings, and optimizes the SSD for Pre-Record.

NOTE: To use Pre-Record only for specific situations, map Pre-Record to a key (Menu > Settings > Setup > Keys

> Record: Start Pre-Record). For more information, go to “Keys” on page 92.
