Camera recording

Selecting the START/STOP mode

Your camcorder has three modes. These modes enable you to take a series of quick shots resulting in a lively video.

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

: Recording starts when you press START/STOP, and stops when you press it again (factory setting).

ANTI GROUND SHOOTING : The camcorder records only while you press down START/STOP so that you can avoid recording unnecessary scenes. 5SEC: When you press START/STOP, the camcorder records for 5 seconds and then stops automatically.

(2)Turn STANDBY up to STANDBY and press START/STOP.

Recording starts.

If you selected 5SEC, the tape counter disappears and five dots appear. The dots disappear at a rate of one per second as illustrated below.
