2. Select the desired opons using the Mode Opons dialog. These will vary depending on the selected mode:
• In Standard modes and Long Record Basic, one of the sengs
is Trigger Posion. Seng the trigger point divides the inter-
nal memory into two secons: 1) a circular buer reserved
for pre-trigger frames; 2) a second buer for post-trigger
frames. The images recorded before the trigger are given
negave frame numbers (oldest is most negave, the newest
is -1), the image taken at the me of the trigger is “frame
0,” and all frames taken aer the trigger are given posive
numbers. Note that with an “End” trigger, all frames will have
negave numbers except for frame 0, which will be the last
frame. With a “Start Trigger” the recording will begin at frame
“0” and all subsequent frames will have posive numbers.
• LR FasCorder modes (ROC and BROC) the trigger posion is
always “Start.”

Long Record Basic, the camera will enter Playback when the recording is nished. If you are using FasFire or Autosave, the camera will save the
recording to storage media and re-Arm. If you are using LR FasCorder ROC mode, the camera will toggle between Armed and Recording each
me you trigger. If you are using LR FasCorder BROC mode, the camera will record a specied number of frames with each trigger, then return
