This button is used to control the camcorder. When this button is pressed with the camcorder set to the
recording mode, the tape runs to start recording. "REC" appears in the viewfinder.
When this button is pressed again, "
" appears instead of "REC" and the tape stops and the camcorder enters
the record/ pause (stand-by) mode.
