Releasing Power Save/Changing Off Time

Releasing Power Save/Changing Off Time

When the recording pause status continues for 5 minutes, the DVD camcorder will automatically go off to prevent the battery from being discharged. If 5 minutes is too short for you, you can change the auto power off time up to 30 minutes. If you want to use up the battery when you have no intention to use the DVD camcorder for a long time, you can switch off the Power save function.

1. Press the MENU button in the recording pause status to display the menu screen.

2. Use the select dial to choose “OTHER SETUP” and then “POWER SAVE”.

Options will be next to POWER SAVE: “OFF” is being highlighted.

3. Turn the Select dial to change “OFF” to “ON:30” (power off in approximately 30 minutes) or “ON:5” (power off in approxi- mately 5 minutes), and then press the Select dial.

The menu screen for setting others will be re- stored, and “POWER SAVE” has been specified as “ON:30” or “ON:5”.

4. Press the MENU button to switch off the menu screen.

Tip:

• The power save setting information does not appear in the on-screen display, and this setting will not change when the DVD camcorder is turned off. It is recommended that you set “POWER SAVE” to “ON:5” to prevent needless battery consumption.
