In STBY mode:
•The camcorder switches to "Quick On STBY" mode when you close the LCD screen. page 96
In Playback mode (Includes the thumbnail view mode):
•The camcorder switches to the sleep mode when you close the LCD screen, and then, if idle for more than 20 minutes, the camcorder turns off.
However, if you set Auto Power Off to 5 Min, the camcorder turns off in 5 minutes.

•The power saving mode does not work in the following situations:
-When the camcorder has a cable connection. (USB, Component/AV, or HDMI)

•The camcorder consumes battery power in the power saving mode (about 50% of the power consumed in the standby mode) However, if you plan to use the camcorder for the maximum
length of time without recharging, we recommend you turn off the camcorder by pressing the
