Record mode

Quick start

This camera will be put into standby in approx. 1.7 seconds after the power is turned on. ≥This is only activated in the following cases.

≥A tape or a card is inserted, while the Tape Recording Mode is set.

≥A card is inserted, while the Card Recording Mode is set.

1Press the [QUICK START] button.

QUICK

START

≥The quick start recording lamp lights up. (Press the button again to cancel it.)

2Set the [OFF/ON] switch to [OFF].

≥The quick start is now ready.

3Set the [OFF/ON] switch to [ON].

≥This camera will be put into a recording pause in approx. 1.7 seconds after it is turned on.

ªTo cancel the quick start when the

power is [OFF]

Press and hold the [QUICK START] button for approx. 2 seconds. The lamp will go off and the camera will be completely turned off.

≥If the standby continues for approx. 30 minutes, then the lamp will go off and the camera will be completely turned off.

≥When you rotate the mode dial or remove the battery, the quick start recording lamp is turned off and the quick start mode is cancelled. If the movie camera is turned on and the Tape/Card Recording Mode is set though, the lamp turns on and the quick start mode is restored.

≥When the camera is quick-started with the white balance on automatic, it may take some time until the white balance is adjusted if the scene being recorded has a light source different from the scene last recorded. (When the colour night view function is used, however, the white balance of the scene last recorded is retained.)

≥The zoom magnification may differ from when it is in the quick start standby mode and when the recording starts.

≥Since about half the power of normal recording is used in quick start standby, using quick start reduces the recordable time.
