VIXIA HF G40 Trouble with Start Stop button

jobbruggen
Apprentice

One of my frequent mistakes is that I press the start/stop button with the intention of capturing an important event.

Only to find out later I actually STOPPED recording and missed the scene completely, leaving two unimportant scenes (floor, grass, my feet, the ceiling) for me.

Why is there not a SEPARATE start and stop button? Is there a software solution for this, that would inhibit stopping a recording, only if pressed twice for instance?

Rookie mistake...! Apologies.

I use five CANON HF-G40 camcorders for recording video.
