Tips
During sleep mode, the battery is consumed at
about half that of usual recording, enabling you
to save battery power.
The power turns off automatically if you do
not operate your camcorder for a certain
period during sleep mode. You can set the time
that you want the camcorder to remain on
before automatically turning off in sleep mode
([QUICK ON STBY], (p. 67)).
