playback mode (SP or LP) is selected automatically according to the format in wlhich the tape has
been recorded. The quality of the recorded picture in LP mode, however, will not be as good as that in

This section shows you how you can get the most out of your battery pack.
Always Carry Additional Batteries
Have sufficient battery pack power to do 2 to 3 times as much recording as you have planned.
Battery Life is Shorter in Cold Environment
Battery efficiency is decreased and the battery will be used up more quickly if you are recording in cold
environment.
To Save Battery Power
Turn the STANDBY switch on the camcorder down when not recording to save battery power.
A smooth transition between scenes can be made even if recording is stopped and started again. While
you are positioning the subject, selecting an angle, or looking through the viewfinder lens or at the
LCD screen, the lens moves automatically and the battery is used. The battery is also used when a tape
is inserted or removed.
