Recording
Pressing will not start recording.
- You cannot record while the camcorder is writing previous recording onto the memory (while the ACCESS
indicator is on or flashing).

( 40, 62) or initialize the memory ( 31) to free some space.

- There is a slight interval between pressing and the actual start of recording. This is not a
malfunction.
