≥This camera will be put into a recording
pause in approx. 1.7 seconds after it is turned
on.
ªTo cancel the quick start when th e

power is [OFF]

Press and hold the [QUICK START] button for
approx. 2 seconds. The lamp will go off and the
camera will be completely turned off.
≥If the standby continues for approx. 30 minutes,
then the lamp will go off and the camera will be
completely turned off.
≥When you rotate the mode dial or remove the
battery, the quick start recording lamp is turned
off and the quick start mode is cancelled. If the
movie camera is turned on and the Tape/Card
Recording Mode is set though, the lamp turns
on and the quick start mode is restored.
≥When the camera is quick-started with the white
balance on automatic, it may take some time
until the white balance is adjusted if the scene
being recorded has a light source different from
the scene last recorded. (When the colour night
view function is used, however, the white
balance of the scene last recorded is retained.)
≥The zoom magnification may differ from when it
is in the quick start standby mode and when the
recording starts.
≥Since about half the power of normal recording
is used in quick start standby, using quick start
reduces the recordable time.
