English

Setting to the sleep/restart standby status:

Press the SLEEP/RESTART button in the recording pause status.

The SLEEP/RESTART button will light, and the DVD video camera/recorder will enter the sleep/restart standby status.

In the following cases, pressing the SLEEP/ RESTART button will not set the DVD video camera/recorder to the sleep/restart standby status:

•No disc is loaded although the power switch is set to “DVD”.

•No card is loaded although the power switch is set to “SD”.

•An unusable disc or card is loaded.

•The HDD or a loaded DVD or card has no remaining free space.

•The Disc Navigation screen is being displayed.

•During playback.

Restoring from sleep/restart standby status:

Press the SLEEP/RESTART button that is lit: The DVD video camera/recorder will return to the recording pause status.

Pressing the REC or PHOTO/SELECT button will also restore the DVD video camera/ recorder to recording pause from the sleep/ restart standby status.

The following operation will release the sleep/ restart standby status:

•Press down the DISC EJECT button.

•Change over the power switch (“HDD”↔“DVD”).

Note:

•If you press the REC or PHOTO/SELECT button while in the sleep/restart standby status, the sleep/restart status will be released, but recording of a video or photo will not start. To record, press the REC or PHOTO/SELECT button again.

•After the DVD video camera/recorder is restored from the sleep/restart standby status, the zoom position will return to 3x. The settings on manual focus, exposure and rear lighting will also reset to the initial values.

•The DVD video camera/recorder in sleep/restart standby status consumes approx. half the power it does during ordinary recording, but the recordable duration in that status will be longer than standing by in the recording pause status.

•If the sleep/restart standby status continues more than 30 minutes, the DVD video camera/recorder will turn off regardless of the Power Save setting (leaving the DVD video camera/recorder in recording pause status for 5 minutes will also turn it off: Default).

•Setting the power switch to OFF in the sleep/restart standby status will turn the DVD video camera/ recorder off.
