Quick Start Function
When you close the LCD panel with the camcorder on, the camcorder enters the standby mode. In standby mode the camcorder consumes only about half the power used when recording, saving energy when you are using a battery pack. Additionally, when you open the LCD panel or change the position of the mode dial, the camcorder is ready to start recording in approximately
1 second*, allowing you to record the subject right away.
*The actual time required varies depending on the shooting conditions.
