Before using

Quick Start

When quick start is ON the battery power is still being consumed, even when the LCD monitor and the viewfinder are closed.

The movie camera will resume recording/pause mode about 1.7 seconds after the LCD monitor or the viewfinder is reopended.

Please note in quick start mode approximately half the pause recording power is being consumed. Using quick start mode will reduce the battery recording/playback time.

This is only activated in the following cases. A tape or a card is inserted, while the Tape

Recording Mode is set.

A card is inserted, while the Card Recording Mode is set.

Set to Tape/Card Recording Mode.

ªTo cancel Quick Start

1Set [SETUP] >> [QUICK START] >> [OFF]. (-18-)

If the [OFF/ON] switch is set to [OFF] while the unit is in quick start standby, the lens cover closes and the power turns off.

If the standby continues for approx. 30 minutes, then the Status indicator will go off and the camera will be completely turned off.

If the Mode dial is moved or the battery is

removed in quick start standby mode, quick start is cancelled and the power turns off.

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.)

If the power is turned on in quick start standby, the zoom magnification becomes 1k and the picture size may differ from what it was before quick start standby.

If [POWER SAVE] (-52-) is set to [5 MINUTES] and the unit automatically goes into quick start standby mode, set the [OFF/ON] switch to [OFF], then to [ON] again. Also, close the LCD monitor and retract the viewfinder and then

open the LCD monitor or extend the viewfinder again.

When using the AC adaptor, Quick Start can be used even if a tape/card is not inserted.
