How many seconds does it need to power up and start recording? I want to be able to push a button and start recording instantly. Thank you very much

I'd say about 2-3 seconds. It's very quick, but not instantaneous. I've never used another recorder that goes faster though.

Hi, please install the battery. Then press the "PLAY/PAUSE" button to switch on the voice recorder. After that, please switch on the "REC" button, you can start record now.

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

It can record up to a 22-23 min video at a time. If you want to take pictures while recording, you simply hit the shutter button.

I just tested the recorder by removing the batteries for 2 minutes and the settings were not reset, so it would take a longer time without power than just changing the batteries for the settings to reset. I misplaced one for over 3 months and although the batteries lost their power and the settings eventually reset, my recordings were intact. Hope this helps.

It has an internal battery, but to record while using the internal, it maybe would work for 20 seconds before the battery goes dead, but to view recordings it would work for a nice 5 to 10 min. It's basically meant to use plugged in .

Mine automatically powers on when the power is turned on to the unit. I don't have to push the power button to turn it on. I just have one camera hooked up and it automatically uses that camera. Input 1.

I have the same problem. If you are recording continuously for more than 15 minutes, the camera heats up and begins to say that you're running out of power. At 20 minutes, it shuts off. The batteries aren't out of power - the camera is just not designed for continuous shooting.

Not that I'm aware of. Once you turn it on and wait 5-7 seconds, it starts recording.

Easy, pretty much press a button to record and press a button to play. If you press stop, then it will start a new recording session the next time you press record.

If you hold the pause/hold button too long, it powers off. I will not pick up where you left off when recording or playing.

Good evening, the recording time will depend on the amount of memory that you put, 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64 gigabytes.Recording until memory runs out, the battery does not last long, you should buy a backup.The videos are excellent.

it has a min. .10 seconds and a max.60 seconds i believe .........i have mine up right now or i would double check..........it might have a max.of only .30 seconds(sorry) but those are the ranges and then there is a delay mode which is kind of "cool" which gives u default .05 seconds or u can set it to .30 seconds max. in between the video that just recorded and the next video.............so it isnt just taking one after the other after the other(breaks the videos up)............

The camera will limit video recording to 10 mins. However, if you immediately press record again you can resume recording right away, you can record an additional 10 mins and then fuse the 2 videos together using the editing software. You can repeat this process for as many times as you like.

All I did on mine was just plug it in to the recorder. You could test it, plug it in turn the recorder on to record, say (testing 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10) stop the recorder hit play, if you hear the test it worked if not you need power.

You want a voice activated record mode which is common on the more advanced devices. I have owned several other types but this kind is mostly for dictation and meetings. The long wait time will run the batteries down and the quality of the recording may not be as you expected, so I do not recommend this unit for a standby type of usage.

If the player isn't turned on to start with it will take about 12 seconds for it to turn on, then you have to move the menu to record mode, then press the play/record button. If the unit is already turned on and in record mode you just press play/record and it records.
