(2)Set START/STOP MODE to the desired mode.

ANTI GROUND SHOOTING : The camcorder records only while you press

down START/STOP so that you can avoid recording unnecessary scenes.

5 SEC : When you press START/STOP, the camcorder records for 5 seconds and then stops automatically.

(3)Turn STANDBY up and press START/STOP. Recording starts.

If you selected 5 SEC, five dots appear in the viewfinder. The dots disappear at a rate of one per second. When five seconds elapse and all the dots disappear, the camcorder switches to Standby mode automatically.
