Record button
Next to the histogram at the bottom of your URSA Mini's touchscreen, you'll see a round gray
button. This is the 'record' button. Tap this once to begin recording, and tap it again to stop.
While recording, the button and the timecode at the top of your URSA Mini touchscreen will
turn red.

Dropped Frame Indicator
The 'record' button will be overlaid with a flashing '!' indicator if your URSA Mini begins
dropping frames while recording. The time remaining indicator for the affected card or cards will
also turn red. For example, if you are recording in dual card mode and card 1 is dropping frames,
the '!' indicator will appear over the 'record' button, and the time remaining indicator on card 1
will turn red. This lets you know if a particular card is too slow for your currently selected codec
and resolution. The 'dropped frame indicator' will also display if you have dropped a frame on
the previously recorded clip. This indicator will continue to display until another clip is recorded,
or the camera is power cycled. Refer to 'Choosing a CFast 2.0 card' section in this manual, for
more information on how to avoid dropping frames.

TIP
If you have the your URSA Mini's status LED enabled, this will rapidly flash red
when dropped frames are detected. For more information, see the 'setup settings'
section in this manual.
NOTE
You can set your URSA Mini to stop recording if dropped frames are detected
to prevent a situation where you waste time shooting unusable footage if you don't
notice the dropped frame indicator. See the 'record settings' section in this manual for
more information.
