When you record with the hv-30, you see the 'red button' as indicator that the recording has begun. Now i had some times, the 'red button' is flashing on/out, before a recording. Anyone know what it means?
Also i had some experience with missing recordings 'always at the begin' at the beginning of a tape (which had some previous shoots on it, i record over them).
I experience all these things at the beginning of trying to shoot a wedding dance, the cam is left in shootingmode for several minutes (preparing the dance/music), before the couple starts to dance.
Could it be it has to do with (see manual):
"to protect the tape and videoheads, the camcorder will enter the stop mode, if left in record/pause for 4 minutes 30 seconds, to resume recording press start/stop."
The second time now the wedding dance is nowhere to be found on the tape.
I'm beginning to doubt myself i do press the record button, but in fact i know it has something to do with the cam...don't know what.
