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

It really is an issue. It takes several seconds to determine distance and volume level before starting the recording. You never really know when the recording is kicking in.

Between 3-5 seconds from the time you hold the start button on till the time you can actually start recording.

You don't need any app to record if you are using an iphone or ipad other than the camera app that has a video option. Most come with one. The tricky thing I have found is that there are 3 settings or notches on the on/off switch. To a number of us who have bought one, it seems to be in reverse, the smaller image records the loudest sound where the bigger icon seems to record very little. the on button needs to be pushed up, not down.

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!

If possible, go with a model that has 2 hour recording time. Ultra vs. Mino - we've used both and don't really have a preference. My 12 year old loves her Ultra but it only has 1 hour recording time and she wants to trade hers for one with more recording capacity.

Yes, the XA-10 creates a new file automatically each time a new recording is made. If you want to record a long event greater than 45 minutes, or so, you will need to use (1) line power from the supplied ac/dc adapter, or (2) have additional battery packs. Finally, you can set the timer on the camera to START recording but you will have to manually stop the recording. As an aside I use the camera to film my band playing and it has recorded flawlessly for 1.5 hours on the supllied lithium battery.

absolutely. power it up first, then hook the power up, follow the prompts on the screen and you are ready to go. if video taping, push the record button once and it will give you a display before you tape. side note, i am the singer in a rock band and it video and audio records outstanding for an inexpensive device. i also bought the remote. works great.... hope this helps johnd

I'm sure answers will vary , one the memory used and the battery, mine records for approx 2 hours , and it make a file at 59 min , then it will automatically begin a new file . I don't know why it does this but it works fine. it does tend to get a little warm when recording for a long period of time.

Hi Bob, Please see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4Tnz4XE1Qs 0:52 , there is a choice of 2 min, 3 min and 5 min. the only time it records in 1 min is when it's under parking mode. ( not taking the power from the car ) thanks Marie

Yes, one button allow you to start/stop the recording. About the ten minutes I think It can, depends on the battery.

About 2 hours. It may be depend on how do you record. If you want more time, you need to use USB for charging Battery.

The remote power does not have to be on for the camera to continue recording, up to 5 minutes, (as long as the internal battery is charged). Once power is removed, the camera uses its internal battery to continue recording for the duration you choose in the settings, (1, 3, or 5 minutes).

There are settings that you can edit. I run mine for 5 minutes max. It's perfect though. I might actually change into a minute because it does loop recording with no gaps and it does not take as long to transfer a file over vs the 5 minute clips. I don't remember off the top of my head but you first must stop any recording. Then you push the little button on the bottom (normally turns the screen on or off while it is recording) and it will pull up the settings menu. Play around in that and you will see how different options and you can change your record options there. I also chose to have my display turn off my itself after 1 minute (its the fastest). I entered my licenses plant number as well. It's a great device with lots of options. Check it out and you get into the settings. :)

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.

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

Hi you have to go to setting and select dual recording to shoot continuously until the memory cards(A & B fill up. and keep your battery full. you will be able to record a video for 2 hours.hope this help.

I have not used the time lapse function but I am sure that you cannot power the device via USB while actually recording. It is battery or nothing. I reduce the quality of my video and my battery is good for 2.5 to 3.0 hours. If that works for you, than this is a good buy. If not, than there are better options for your purpose.
