START/STOP button.
If you press the button during [INTERVAL
REC] recording, the recording temporarily
stops. If you press it again, the
[INTERVAL REC] recording restarts,
If you press the button during [INTERVAL
REC] interval, the [INTERVAL REC]
recording stops and regular recording starts.
If you press it again, regular recording
stops. If you press the button once again,
the [INTERVAL REC] recording restarts.
To cancel the [INTERVAL REC]
recording, select [ON/OFF] t [OFF] with

and recording it at each different position
while your camcorder sits still. Use the

shakes.
