Basic operations
Selecting the START/STOP mode
Your camcorder has three modes. These modes enable you to take a series of quick
shots resulting in a lively video.
(1) While pressing OPEN, 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) Turn STANDBY up to STANDBY and press START/STOP. Recording starts.
If you selected 5SEC, the tape counter disappears and five dots appear. The dots
disappear at a rate of one per second as illustrated below.
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.
Notes on START/STOP mode
