Camera recording
Selecting the start/stop mode
Your camcorder has two modes besides normal start/stop mode. These modes enable you to take a series of quick shots resulting in a lively video.
(1) Slide OPEN in the direction of the arrow and open the LCD panel.
(2) Set START/STOP MODE to the desired mode.
: Recording starts when you press START/STOP, and stops when you press it again (normal mode).
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.
(3) Press START/STOP. Recording starts.
If you selected 5SEC, five dots appear in the viewfinder or on the LCD screen. The dots disappear at a rate of one per second as illustrated below. When five seconds elapse and all the dots disappear, the camcorder switches to Standby mode automatically.
