Notes:

Many special effects don’t operate in AutoShot mode (see pages 57-59 for more information).

The camcorder automatically turns off to save battery power if you leave it in record-standby mode for more than five minutes. To turn it back on, set the Power switch to OFF, then back to automatic or manual record mode.
