Q: Questioncan this camcorder play continuously? If you have various recordings on the memory card, do you have to keep restarting using the play button?

Asked 4 years ago by ssiebel.

• A:Answer Hi ssiebel, Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. The camcorder cannot play clips continuously. It will play a full length of each clip then stop. You would need to use the play button to play each clip individually. Thank you so much for your question. And thank you for choosing Sony.
