mode).

5 SEC : When you press START/STOP, the camcorder records for about five seconds and then
stops automatically.
(2) Turn STANDBY up and press START/STOP. Recording starts.
If you selected 5 SEC, five dots appear in the viewfinder. The dots disappear at a rate of one per
second as illustrated below. When about five seconds elapse and all the dots disappear, the

If you selected , the camcorder records as long as you hold down START/STOP.
To Extend the Recording Time in 5 SEC Mode
Press START/STOP again before all the dots disappear. Recording continues for about five seconds
