Quick Start Function

When you close the LCD panel with the
camcorder on, the camcorder enters
the standby mode. In standby mode the
camcorder consumes only about half
the power used when recording, saving
energy when you are using a battery
pack. Additionally, when you open the
LCD panel or change the position of the
mode dial, the camcorder is ready to
start recording in approximately
1 second*, allowing you to record the
subject right away.
* The actual time required varies depending
on the shooting conditions.
1
With the camcorder on and in a
recording mode, close the LCD
panel.
A beep will sound and the ON/
OFF(CHG) (power/charge) indicator
will change to orange to indicate the
camcorder entered the standby
mode.
2
When you wish to resume
recording, open the LCD panel.
The ON/OFF(CHG) indicator will
return to green and the camcorder
will be ready to record.
IMPORTANT
Do not disconnect the power source
during standby mode (while the ON/
OFF(CHG) indicator is lit in orange).
NOTES
• The camcorder will not enter standby
mode if the LCD panel is closed while
the ACCESS indicator is on or flashing
or while a menu is being displayed. The
camcorder may also not enter standby
mode if the LCD panel is closed while
the memory card slot cover is open or
when the battery charge is too low.
