b Notes
• If you do not use your camcorder for about 3
months, the built-in rechargeable battery gets
discharged and the date and time settings may
be cleared from the memory. In that case,
charge the rechargeable battery and then set the
date and time again (p. 100).
• At the time of purchase, the power is set to turn
off automatically if you leave your camcorder
without any operation attempted for
approximately 5 minutes, to save battery power
([A.SHUT OFF], p. 62).
z Tips

recording, but they are automatically recorded
on the tape, and can be displayed during
playback (see page 61 for [DATA CODE]
(During Easy Handycam operation, you can set
only [DATE/TIME])).
• The lens cover opens automatically when the
POWER switch is set to CAMERA-TAPE or
