Sleep mode

The camcorder switches to the sleep mode when the LCD screen is closed, and then, if idle for more than 20 minutes, the camcorder turns off. However, if Auto Power Off: 5 Min is set, the camcorder turns off in 5 minutes.

If you open the LCD screen during sleep mode, the sleep mode ends and the camcorder returns to the last operation mode used.

The camcorder operates the self-diagnosis function when powered on. If a warning message appears, refer to ‘warning indicators and messages’ (¬pages 91~93) and take corrective action.

When using this camcorder for the first time

The power saving mode does not work in the following situations:

-While recording, playing back, or displaying a slide show.

-When the LCD screen is opened.

The camcorder consumes less battery power in the power saving mode. However, if you plan to use the camcorder for an extended time, we recommend you turn off the camcorder by pressing the [Power ( )] button when not using it.

When you use your camcorder for the first time or reset it, the Date/ Time Set screen appears at start-up.
