If it makes you feel better, I have occasionally handed friends my DSLR and asked them to record something for me. You can do this either by pressing the red record button or full press the shutter button. Well my friend spent 15 minutes only half-pressing the shutter button and recording nothing. Now I know to make sure to tell people how to start and stop the recording and how to check if it is actually rolling or not. I consider that my humbling learning moment.
