Preset for short takes?

[Samir Patel]

Wondering if it is possible to create a preset which only allows max recording of set time for example 5 seconds per clip? Basically I find myself using the camera for testing often in many different scenarios lighting conditions etc and would rather not come back to the offloading station with many gigabytes of data just to view a few seconds of each clip.

Hey guys so I figured it out how to do this with the current beta firmware. So incase anyone else was looking for a similar solution here is what I did:

I went into the settings menu => recording menu.
Then I changed the recording mode to "limit recording to 120 frames".
Then I went to the presets menu and created a preset with only the "Recording options" selected.
Then I mapped my preset to the Side handle stills rocker.

I did the same as above with the recording mode set to not limit recording and mapped to another preset and to the Motion side of the side handle and voila. Now I can flip between both modes while I am filming and not wasting space on the SSD when I just want to run through a test of various lenses and scenarios.

Hope this helps someone looking for something similar.
