You can pause or stop the recording by selecting Pause Rec or Stop Rec from the on-screen display. You cannot control the camcorder from this remote control during recording.

If you restart recording after stopping the camcorder, the first few seconds of the camcorder tape will not be recorded.

Use the pause button on your camcorder instead and recording will start immediately.

HDD, DVD (VR Mode) and DVD-RAM only: A chapter marker is inserted every time there is a break in the timecode on the DV tape. This happens when the recording is stopped or paused then restarted, for example.

If you don’t want to see the DV recording screen during recording, press DISPLAY to hide it (press again to display).

While recording, you cannot exit the DV recording screen using the HOME MENU or RETURN/EXIT button.
