On mine.. all i have to do is put it on the Video setting,, and press the button that i use to take pictures with and it records till it either runs out of battery power.. or untill my memory card is full.or.. untill i press the shutter button again. try not to take any Still pictures at all if you want to get more video.

its pretty much just point and shoot.

oh yeah.. and please sign up with PetHop if you havent already. *hinty hint* LOL
