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 1/3 the power used when recording, saving energy when you are using a battery pack. Additionally, when you open the LCD panel or pull out the viewfinder, 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.

Operating modes:

1With the camcorder on and in a recording mode, close the LCD panel.

A beep will sound and the green ON/OFF (CHG) indicator will change to orange to indicate the camcorder entered standby mode.
