About Standby Mode

When the LCD monitor is closed while the unit is on, the unit enters
Standby Mode which consumes very little power.
Standby Mode allows pictures to be recorded as soon as the LCD
monitor is opened. Setting [QUICK START] to [ON] will allow the device
to switch to Recording Standby Status even faster. (l 45)
Use Standby Mode when you stop using the unit but intend to use it
again after a short time.
≥ The unit does not go into Standby Mode when you close the LCD
monitor during motion picture recording or audio recording.
≥ If you open the LCD monitor when in Standby Mode, the unit enters
Recording Mode.
To turn off the unit
Hold down the power button until the
LCD monitor goes off.
≥ Pressing the power button for a short
time sends the unit into Standby
Mode. (l 20)
