Quick start
This Camcorder will be put into standby in
approx. 1.7 seconds after the power is turned on.
≥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.
1Press the [QUICK START] button.
≥The quick start recording lamp lights up.
(Press the button again to cancel it.)
2Set the [OFF/ON] switch to [OFF].
≥The quick start is now ready.
3Set the [OFF/ON] switch to [ON].
≥This Camcorder 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
Camcorder will be completely turned off.
≥If the standby continues for approx. 30 minutes,
then the lamp will go off and the Camcorder 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 canceled. If the
Camcorder 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 Camcorder 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 MagicPix function is used, however, the
white balance of the scene last recorded is
retained.)
≥The zoom magnification differs 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 time during which pictures can be
recorded.
