QuestionCan you pause while recording or is it start and stop only?
Asked 7 years ago by MoDee.
- Answer So far I have only been able to stop and start. This creates individual files for each recording. I am not sure on being able to pause and begin recording on the same file. The Sony program downloaded on my desktop for editing is great at splicing the recordings together, though.

QuestionIs the quality of the video footage better in a video from this camcorder or from the main camera of the iPhone 7 PLUS?
Asked 6 years ago by Adam.
- Answer Camera video quality is better than iPhone for filming sports. For me, am still getting use to my new iPhone 8’s. I was record.g grand daughter’s b-ball game-found it difficult to make adjustments like closeups wide angles etc. With the Sony HandyCam, I found it easy to do all that w/o jittery & out focus videos. I highly recommend. I got decent deal Cyber Monday deal from Best Buy, too. I recommend wait one their sales.
