G30 - Pause Recording?

WorldBuilder — Fri, 17 Jan 2014 01:07:36 GMT

Hi all,

TOTAL n00b to camcorders. Bought the G30. My 7 year-old daughter is in gymnastics and as much as I have anjoyed shooting her with my still camera, video seems far better for this arena.

I have NO idea how to use this thing, although just playing around it's totally cool. Anyway, my simple question (with I'm sure many more to come) is... Can I "pause" recording? What I mean is this...

Record a routine. Pause the G30 somehow. When her score appears on the board (usually about a minute later), unpause the G30 and that would make the routine and recording of the score one video file.

Possible? I know I could combine two separate movie files together in software later, but that's too much like work. LOL!

Is what I want to do possible, and if so how? Thanks!

Hi WorldBuilder!

Thanks for the post and welcome to the Canon Forum.

Recording cannot be paused mid-clip and resumed later. When you press the Start/Stop button, that ends the current clip and you will need to start a new clip. The two clips will need to be combined later on after you download them.
