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.
To extend the recording time in 5SEC mode
Press START/STOP again before all the dots disappear. Recording continues for about 5
seconds from the moment you press START/STOP.
Note on 5SEC recording
If you have turned off the indicators on the LCD screen, the dots do not appear.
