• The subject should be within 4.9 feet (1.5 meters) of
the Camcorder.
• Using the LED Video Light reduces battery time.
• Set the LED Video Light to off when not in use.
• Do not look directly into the light.
• If the LED Video light is used with a Conversion
lens attached, a slight vignetting (darkening around
edges) effect occurs on the screen.
• Using the MagicPix Function at the same time will
make conditions even brighter.
• The LED video light enables simply lightening
the images taken in a dimly-lit place. We also
recommend using it in a bright place to obtain high
quality images.
Quick Start
• During the Quick Start Standby Mode, a minute
amount of electricity is consumed.
• When you set [
and the Camcorder is left in the Recording Pause
Mode for 5 minutes, it will be turned into the Quick
Start Standby Mode. To turn the Camcorder on
again, set the [OFF/ON] Switch to [OFF] and then
set it to [ON] again. (The Quick Start Mode will be
restored.)
• This Function is not activated in the following case:
• Neither a card nor a tape has been inserted while
the Tape/Card Recording Mode is set.
• When you rotate the Mode Dial or remove the
battery, the Quick Start Recording Lamp is turned
], mosaic-pattern
off and the Quick Start mode is canceled. If
the Camcorder is turned on and the Tape/Card
Recording Mode is set, the Lamp turns on and the
quick start mode is restored.
• Press and hold the [QUICK START] Button for
approx 2 seconds during the Quick Start Standby
Mode. The Lamp will go off and the Camcorder will
be turned off.
• If the standby continues for approx. 30 minutes,
then the Lamp will go off and the Camcorder will be
completely turned off.
• When the Camcorder is Quick-Started with the
White Balance on automatic, it may take some time
until the White Balance is adjusted if the scene
being recorded has a light source different from the
scene last recorded. (When the MagicPix Function is
used, however, the White Balance of the scene last
recorded is retained.)
• Since about half the power of normal recording
is used in quick start standby, using Quick Start
reduces the recordable time.
• The zoom magnification may differ from when it
is in the Quick Start Standby Mode and when the
recording starts.
