Can you pause and restart recording? I know that sounds like a dumb question but just read a bad review someone wrote saying there was no pause. I find that hard to believe and wanted someone to confirm that. Can you pause and restart recording?

It doesnt pause. When you stop and restart, it's recorded as a new video on the card. Windows Movie Maker works excellent for piecing the clips back together.

No, you have to press the record button to record again. The device can be paused. Also there is no USB port on this device so files cannot be transfered to another device just FYI

Btw... On mine the menu option to turn audio on/off didn't get rid of the voice. I assumed it turned of the mic for recording audio. Maybe mines gotta bug... I donno. Or maybe I'm just an idiot ;)

Yes, you can pause the recording on this device and then pick up recording by hitting the record button again. In response to SuperAcct answer below: You will only end up with a new chapter if you STOP the recording not if you PAUSE the recording. I have used another model of this device for the past 3 years in many outdoor settings. I am a professional equine videographer. The other device has held up well it is just tried and dirty so now that I have this one I can clean up the other one. I recommend not putting anymore then 2 hours of footage on a DVD as the quality decreases dramatically when you go over 2 hrs.

It's up to you. You can set it so it stops recording when full or you can set it to overwrite.

Am I understanding that you want to glue the Record button down, to effectually just thePower button to start recording.Short answer maybe not. I have these units and It seems that recording either starts or stopsOnce you release the button.

I found that (with you facing the screen) the top left button, if you hold it down for a few seconds it will turn off the screen and keep recording. If you hold it again for a few seconds it will turn the screen back on.

I haven't figured that out yet. My problem is I haven't read the instructions. I like things that are fairly simple, turn on play or record. I will be taking the time on my time off this week to figure it out. Sorry I do not have an answer for you. V/R Jackie

You can't pause the record, you just stop it and you get a new file whenever you start and stop recording.

No. The on switch once slid down, quickly activate the recorder immediately. When talking and have paused in speech, the recorder doesn't record until you speak: this is done when you set VOICE CUT on. I really like this feature -- no dead spaces in recording.

When recording anything more than a 5-10 minutes, I need to let it "warm up" by first recording some throw-away content for about one to two times the length of time of what I ultimately need to record. But after it is warmed up, it is fine indefinitely (or until I run out of disk space).

Did it power off after five minutes or did it stop recording after 5 minutes? Is your SD card full? I would think the only reason it would stop recording after five minutes would be if your SD card is full. If it is not, I would probably return it.

Its one of the bottom buttons. It says recording start when u press it. Then there's another that says recording stop when ur finished

The instructions don't say you can back up and record over. You can pause and restart. I use it to record groups so it just goes. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

I listened while recording, so it seems you can. But I never tried listening without recording in progress.

Sorry for taking so long to respond - vacation. Yes, the camera can be paused during playback, along with the usual play back features. Walley B

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.
