For video making, does this start the recording? And does this focus on the subject while recording video?

For my camera, D5100, I dont think it is possible to start recording with the remote. However to answer you other question, if camera is set on auto focus then yes it will focus on subject while recording.

I often power it while recording. It gets power through the mini USB adapter. Just hook up an external power unit to the USB cable, and you are all set.

Yes, it turns on and starts recording as soon as it gets power (from USB or cigarette lighter outlet).

I'm not sure. I have never been able to find a setting that would turn it on during video recording and now we don't use it more than once a year so the battery is dead. It would make sense that there should be a setting that would let you turn on the light during video; maybe the company's website has the user manual PDF download...? Good luck

Yes. Turning on the power starts recording in a few seconds. The recording time depends on the memory stick inserted. A few hours on mine. In record mode it breaks the segments into a couple of minutes each so you don't end up with huge long recording times of useless information. There is also an editing software included with the camera. Overall, this camera seems pretty good.

It automatically turns on and starts recording within about 5 seconds of power. Mine makes an unmistakable electronic sound and then starts recording immediately.

Yes the audio records while recording a video. While you can zoom before recording a video, you can not zoom during recording.

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

No. What it does is, it records in 30 minute increments. There is no interfearance in the video. It's a very nice camera, you won't regret it. It's my professional opinion.

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.

Does this turn off after a while of not recording if you want to use is as a webcam?

No. The remote is not the only way to start and stop recording. The remote does not have a way to know whether the camera has been started manually. The remote does have tactile feedback when you press the start-stop button, and the LED flashes once with each press.

It takes a few seconds before recording starts after you push record. As for looking at it, I don't think it knows if you're looking at it or not. Just push the record button, look wherever you want.

I'm unable to answer since I do not use my camera for video. If I had to make an assumption, I would say "no". Once you press the button, it opens the shutter. I'm unaware of any other options to make it start a video. I'm sorry for not being more helpful.

No, the system gives no audible or visual cue that it is recording. Motion detection is pretty sensitive, even at the low setting. Snowflakes blowing by the camera will easily trigger a recording.

The pause button is the same as the record button. So if you're recording and want to pause the recording, just press the rec/pause button.

Are you recording from a a camera or another source using a rca input if will record in real time. It will burn to the disc when it is finalized. hope this answer your question
