Loop Recording

Loop Recording mode allows you to set a loop duration of 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 minutes. After recording the specified duration, the earliest recorded content will be deleted and continuously overwritten. For example, if you select a loop duration of 5 minutes and shoot for a total of 30 minutes, only the last 5-6 minutes of shooting will be saved. This mode is great for scenarios where you’re waiting for something, but you’re not sure when it will happen. The camera’s storage won’t fill up while you wait and you’ll only have the best bit at the end.


Steps

  1. Power on the camera and set the shooting mode to 'Loop Recording'.
  2. Tap the parameters at the bottom of the screen to adjust parameters such as loop duration.
  3. Press the Shutter Button to start recording.

Notes:

  1. Storage and segmentation:
    No matter the loop duration, the loop-recorded video will be segmented according to the rule of 1min/segment. For example, if a loop duration of 5 minutes is set, the camera will record five 1-minute segments. The sixth-minute segment will overwrite the first-minute segment, the seventh-minute will overwrite the second-minute, and so on. But if the sixth-minute segment does not record for a full minute, the first segment will not be overwritten. You will get five 1-minute videos and one video of less than 1 min.
  2. Exporting:
    In the Insta360 app, loop-recorded video segments will be automatically merged into one video and exported. In Studio, if some segmented videos are missing from the imported loop-recorded video segments, the imported videos can only be exported separately. If the imported loop-recorded video segment is complete, the segments can be merged into one video and exported.
