●Power save and discharge of battery
If, when "Power Save: On" is specified, the DVD
Palmcorder is left in the recording pause status for
approximately 5 minutes, it will automatically turn
off.
To restart recording, set the power switch to
"POWER OFF", and then set it to " VIDEO".
To set or release power save, see "Turning DVD
Palmcorder Off Automatically (Power Save)" on
page 94.
It is recommended that you specify "Power Save:
On", since even during recording pause battery
power is consumed at the same level as during
recording. Especially when power save has been
released, turn the DVD Palmcorder off when not in
use.
