Tape/seconds counter? Ability to flag specific points in recording? Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew if this has a tape/seconds counter on it?

There is a countdown timer, showing minutes and seconds remaining of a track being played. And you can place index marks, both when recording and during playback to make it easy to return to a specific spot. You use the earphone jack for line out, and the mike jack for line-in, with a special patch cord. Suggest you read the manual online from olympusamerica.com

It always counts down seconds. On the timer at least. I haven't used the "count-up" feature.

I would not waste one minute or even one penny on the crap. Yes, it is capable to make ONE single triggered recording if you do everything EXACTLY in the correct order. No, it will not make MULTIPLE triggered recordings. Most likely you get a single recording with sound of NOTHING USEFUL; other than that it does everything advertised. There are plenty of cameras, as well as internet cameras that will even send you an e-mail with the trigger photograph when it has been triggerd, a few more dollars, $150.00-$200.00 but far more useful then these novelties that are not worth the time or trouble to return, (which is what the seller is banking on).

It's not in the vinicity of me, but I remember it has such a function. It can do anything a normal recorder can do. Ask others to make sure plz!

One recorded message at a time. I bought two of them to save on shipping, so most recordings are good in this way. I agree, it would be great if they had one that could hold multiple recordings, but then you would have to have a way to select them. Beyond the design of this one.

The date and time are always in the lower left hand corner. Don't know about when recording, but assume so. I currently don't pay any attention about recording.

Sorry I can't help. this was a gift for an out of state friend, I was not given the details of how it records. He recently finished a 100 mile mountain run, I THINK it would record in seconds, but that is just a guess.

Use Notepad to create a file named TAG.TXT. On the first line, in the first space type today's date, enter 1 space and enter the current time in this format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS. Save to the root folder of the device. In Computer the device will be Removable Disk (F:), or whatever your system calls it. Unplug the device from the computer and the next time you record video, it should have the correct time on it. It works for me. Also I find it records very sharp video in sufficient light. Problem is, on continuous record, I never get more than 5 or 6 minutes. If it's in sound detection mode, you might get only you setting it up, then nothing unless noise occurs very close to it and very, very loud! It's ineffective for surveillance.

It does record max/min values, but it shuts off after twenty minutes. You can diasble the auto shut off, but I dont know how long the batteries will last.

Not that I have noticed, but the software records at about a 1-2 second delay. So make sure you use a second monitor/TV.

Another good question. Also, can you set it to record for X hours? Still reading...

There is a small recording light on the side (not on the front) when it is recording. It can be covered with a small piece of tape.

I returned my flip ultra 30 minute camcorder because of the inconsistency of the record button. I got another one, and then I had the same problems with the second one. Obvious design flaw.

It is normal for this and all portable digital recorders I can think of to go into Pause when you first press Record (you have to press Record a second time or else press Play during the Record-Pause--either work with this device). However, if the time counter actually shows that recording has begun by counting up the seconds and THEN the recorder pauses, that is a problem. Would not call it junk if that is the problem. These devices are miniature computers, and Quality Assurance might only be sampling build lots instead of stress-testing every unit in this price range. I have found this recorder to meet my needs as a good recorder of spoken word. (I did not buy it for recording live music.)

I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but the record button ONLY controls whether sound is being recorded onto the USB drive. You have to separately control whether the tape deck is actually playing. So, if you want to record the tape playing, you have to hit record and then play. When the tape reaches the end or you want to stop recording, press the record button again to end the recording. Hope this helps!

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you. I bought this camera for my daughter and she has not used the record feature yet. :(

1st souloution when you hit record once, it goes into a pre record mode, the rec light should blink, this is so you can check the levels etc, once you hit record a second time it will start recording 2nd soloution: there is an auto record setting, at first you might think than means like a camera on auto to just set levels etc automatically but its not. The auto record means that it will record when it "hears" something, and the sensitivity is adjustable. so once you hit record it may be stopping because the sounds is to low against the sensiotivity asettings. Disable the auto recording and you should be fine. This recorder is one of the nest on the market for a lot of reasons, i have 3 tascams models and 2 zooms, it take an hour or 2 to read the manuel but when your on location it pays to know your stuff
