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

Hello, I am afraid I cannot answer your question. It was purchased as a gift and I have never actually seen it or used it. Sorry...Bob

After the POWER switch is turned on it takes about 5 or 6 seconds for the unit to boot up at which time the screen will display the word STOP. The unit is then in a "standby/ready" mode and pressing the RECORD button will start recording instantly. When in the standby/ready mode, if you don't press any buttons for about 10 minutes the screen will go blank and the unit enters the "power save" mode. Pressing any button will return the unit to the standby/ready mode from which you can instantly start recording by pressing the RECORD button.

At most, maybe five seconds. But after that, you can hit record right away and it'll start

I tested this function. It recorded one straight shot for 24 1/2 minutes and then stopped recording. It did not automatically start recording a new file but the camera did stay on. Pressing the record button again starts a new recording file.

there is a free small download that will do all your video capture needs. Everyone look up CaptureFlux! Its free and very easy to use! and I have no idea if the button serves a purpose! but this should fix the problem of 0 camera capturing ability!

Hi Alexander, the expected recording time would depend on the quality of videos you take. You can record on the highest quality for about 3 hours. Thanks_Mitch

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.

Not to be stupid, but will this camera pause? I mean can you pause while recording and then start again without it being a new movie? Thanks

If the battery is completely empty, it may need a few minutes to get enough of a charge to start recording. It does, however, record normally when hooked up for charging.

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.

You turn it on before recording. One press turns the light around the button on then a second press (and depress) turns on the recording feature. I beloeve that when the colour is a continuous orange it is recording. It is in the instruction manual (if you have already bought it, but if not you now have your answer. :-) ).I recommend you turn it on before putting it in it's holder, then that way you get yourself in the shot briefly before you dive.Hope that helps.

Con Sumer, I wish I could be more help, but this camera was a gift to my wife, and she is Chinese, I do know you are limited to 20 min. for video. As far as the remote view finder not sure on that, or we do not have that option. we only can start the recording by pressing the shoot button on the camera itself.

Top left button turn camera on and off. When it blinks red it records. Took me a few times to figure out.

There is no on-off button. You have to plug and unplug, or turn off through device. Device should control recording.

Mine is about 3 seconds unless I hold but don't push the button then I control when it takes it and there is no lag.... Very good STARTER camera....

I am not sure about the voice you are talking about. The units I have don't have the voice every two minutes. It only say "start recording" when turn on and "stop recording" when turn off. Can you try reseting it?

No. You slide the button to turn it on & it starts recording & records until it's charge runs down or you shut it off.

Hi:Hi:Yes, the process is automatic, in any case there are several options on the recording mode, the default is to overwrite. I hope this information will help ..Regards
