mode for more than 5 minutes in TAPE-CAMERA
or DUAL-CAMERA mode, the power will
automatically turn off to save battery power and
to protect the tape from being damaged. (The
camcorder will make a confirmation sound when
it is left in Recording Standby mode for about 4
minutes.) To resume recording after the power
has been turned off, set the POWER switch to
OFF and then back to CAMERA.
