About Standby Mode

When the LCD monitor is closed while the unit is on, the unit enters Standby Mode which consumes very little power.

Standby Mode allows pictures to be recorded as soon as the LCD monitor is opened. Setting [QUICK START] to [ON] will allow the device to switch to Recording Standby Status even faster. (l 63)

Use Standby Mode when you stop using the unit but intend to use it again after a short time.

The unit does not go into Standby Mode when you close the LCD monitor during motion picture recording or audio recording.

If you open the LCD monitor when in Standby Mode, the unit enters Recording Mode.

If the unit has not been operated for approximately 5 minutes (settings at the time of purchase) when the power is turned on, the ECONOMY function will activate and switch to Standby Mode to limit power consumption in situations such as the user forgetting to turn the power off.

jWhen the unit is in Standby Mode, you can turn on the unit by pressing the power button.

jThe time until the unit goes into Standby Mode can be changed. (l 66)
