This is the Camcorder function. You can toggle between Camcorder and Camera. When I use the camcorder and record the red dot is in the top left with the elapsed time next to it. Bottom center of screen shows a pause button. When you press the center "OK" button the pause icon on the bottm changes to the Square with a red dot (I think this is a "record button") and the red dot on the top left changes to a red flashing pause icon. Somehow you are immediately going into "Pause" mode. To continue recording press the "OK" button.

It seems like it's starts recording as soon as motion is detected. But it's a video recording, not a snapshot. Hope that helps.

If you record on a DVD+R,DVD-RW,or DVD-R disc, you have to finalize the disc to play them back on other machines. This procedure is explained on pages 54 and 55 of the owners manual. You begin by pressing setup on the remote,select disc edit then press OK,use up/down arrows to select finalize then press OK,use up/down arrows to select yes then press OK. It will take several minutes to complete the process and you can monitor it with the display at the bottom of the screen. After the display shows 100%,the display will disappear and the disc will be finalized. If you record on DVD+RW disc, you do not have to finalize the disc. The DVD+RW disc can also be erased and recorded on many times. You can find this information on page 80 of the owners manual.

I took video with this camera of a gymnastics meet & it had blips & repeated actions that were not done by the gymnasts. What setting should I have used or is this camera damaged?

Darlene: You've probably already figured it out by now, but I'm going to post this reply for anyone else who may be having the same problem. While in DVD mode (the green light above "DVD" is lit up, push the "Rec Mode" button on your remote control. It is the button just to the left of the red "Record" button. Each time you press that a new record speed will appear on your screen. It cycles through each one and then goes back to the beginning and will even tell you how many minutes you have left on that disc to record with at that speed.

The file format of the recorded material is probably incorrect. Double check what the file extension is on your digital file and see if you can convert it to a compatible file type.

Except for I bought this model and mine records audio and video together. It's an option in your video recording menu to allow audio & video to record together. Only allowing video, however, allows for much more recording space

not a common problem, the camera shoots higher than 30 FPS which would be standard to capture motion in video. Camera is great with a great price.

With the video camera on, but not recording or in camera mode, do the following. Press the Menu button on the side of the camera. The following should be displayed on the screen. Use the UP and Down buttons on the side of the camera to highlight (not really highlighted) what you want to do. Use the REC/SNAP button to actually select something. Press the Menu button to exit.

That being a longer video, and If I remember correctly, it will record 4gb and then start another movie as a safety save type of thing. It will be seamless when edited. Do you have LOOP on or off? The answer may be there too.

If you are talking about the red dot in the top left of the lcd screen, no it will either blink when it is recording or glow solid when it is not.

You start and stop recording by pushing the record button. There is no 'pause' option that I'm aware of. The camera reacts quickly, so I'm not sure a pause option, at this level would prove to be of much use.

I ordered this for my daughter and simply can't figure it out. Are there some better instructions out there. It seems to work for a bit but isn't the record button supposed to blink all the time while recording? I changed batteries twice but it seems to just stop? Any suggestions for a very technically challenged mom?

I don't know, James, because we sent the camera back! Something that only records for 10 seconds when it activates was not what we needed. We got a netcam instead! Goggling the camera model doesn't turn up anything?

If you are playing a video of course you can pause it and resume it. If you are talking to do that while you are recording a video I did not see that option.

Hello, Recording is rather simple with this machine. Once turned on , press record, let it initialize, press record,,again. You have to hit the stop button twice for it to stop recording. to play back hit play. Your recording should play back. I have several of these recorders and one does not playback through the recorder only through the computer. I had no problem getting the company to send a replacement.
