One quick suggestion. You can just hit record and then edit out the first few seconds of "set-up" video on the IPhone or computer. I do not have a G9x, but most camera have the simple ability to TRIM (set a start and end location of video clips once it is saved). I do not post often to YouTube, but when I do I always edit/trim the video first either on computer, iPhone or the camera itself so I have a clean start and end point. Again, just a suggestion/thought.

Thanks, yes I can definitely do that. However, I often start/stop while recording as I mis-speak or mess something up. Various "takes" as it is. It would be a real pain to have to get up each time to stop the camera and also take a lot of extra time in editing afterwards to remove all the bad "takes" vs. just deleting the bad "take". If that makes any sense.

I'm very surprised that's not a feature of the app. It seems so simple to (at the very least) have the app have the ability to start video recording if you're camera dial is already on video.

I really like the camera in the short time I've had to play with it, and I'm sad I'm having to return it.
