•The camera starts to record after a 10-second countdown period (or after two seconds when you use the wireless controller). The time remaining counts down in the display (e.g. “5 SEC”).

•SELF T. disappears from the display when recording begins.

•The tally lamp starts flashing.

4.Press the start/stop button to end recording.

•After recording a still picture for about six seconds, the camera automatically goes into record pause mode.

Notes:

•Initially the tally lamp flashes once a second, then just before recording it starts flashing more quickly for a few seconds before the camera starts to record.

•If you have the beep turned on, it sounds each time the tally lamp flashes before recording.

•To cancel the self-timer before the countdown has begun, press the self-timer button again.

•To cancel the self-timer once the countdown has begun, press start/stop or the self-timer button on the wireless controller or the body of the camera.

•When taking a still photo, set the self-timer and press a PHOTO button on the camera body or the wireless controller. The camera automatically adjusts the focus two seconds before the countdown is complete. The F mark flashes white then turns green after the focus and exposure are set. If you are using the wireless controller, the F mark starts flashing immediately after you press the photo button. The camcorder takes the picture for approximately six seconds.
