Power save and discharge of battery

When the DVD camcorder is left in the recording pause status for approximately 5 minutes, it will automatically turn off. Turn the DVD camcorder on again to restart recording.

You can cancel power save and change the time until the DVD camcorder automati- cally turns off to approximately 30 minutes (see “Releasing Power Save/Changing Off Time” on page 131).

Even during recording pause, battery power is consumed at the same level as during recording. Especially when power save has been released, turn the DVD camcorder off if possible, except during recording.

Zooming

This DVD camcorder can zoom in on subject up to 12 times optically multiplied by 4 times digitally.

If the digital zoom is specified "ON" (see p. 68), continuously pressing the Zoom lever "T" control will switch to digital zoom midway.
