Trigger Issues

i used to laugh everytime my dad or anyone in my family would leave the camcorder on and recording when the camera was assumed to be off. we would get a good five to ten minutes of walking, talking and a whole lot of nothing. well the same thing happenend to me when my camera was over my shoulder walking. when i uploaded my pictures i was like "wtf?!" and then started laughing because it actually came out a little cool.
