Recording
Images can be recorded manually or via contact switch.
This section describes how to record manually.
For details on configuring patient information and
storage destinations for recorded data beforehand, see
"Recording Preparation" (page 43).
Tip
For details on how to record via contact switch, contact
your local Sony representative.
Note on the auto delete function for
recorded data
Whenever the remaining capacity on the unit's internal
hard disk becomes low, an auto delete function
automatically deletes recorded data, starting with the
oldest start dates for recording. This is done to maintain
free space on the unit's internal hard disk at all times.
To disable the auto delete function, set [Auto Delete] to
[Not Used] in the [System Admin Settings] screen.

Tip
You can record up to 24 continuous hours from the
moment you start recording or capture a still image. After
24 hours, recording will stop automatically, and the
"close folder" is performed.
Recorded data directory
Video data is stored in one of the following directories,
depending on the system administrator settings.
Video data directory
<uppermost folder of the external media>/<recording
start date (year, month, day, hour, minute,
second)_patient ID>/MOVIE/
or
<uppermost folder of the external media>/<patient ID>/
<recording start date (year, month, day, hour, minute,
second)>/MOVIE/
Tips
• The order of the year, month, and day of the recording
date used in the storage directory is based on the date
format of the system settings.
• If the power supply is disconnected before the writing
of the data is complete, the validity of the written data
cannot be guaranteed.
• When recording to external media, the media can be
switched out up to 15 times for a single recorded data
entry. When this limit is exceeded, the "Exch. media
limit exceeded" message appears on the [End
Recording] screen.
• If you press the z REC button again, recording will
start again as a new title for the same patient.
