Before changing the battery pack, slide the POWER switch up to (CHG) OFF.

In the default setting, when you do not operate the camcorder for more than about 5 minutes, the power will automatically turn off to prevent battery loss ([A.SHUT OFF], p. 81). To restart recording, slide the POWER switch down to select CAMERA- TAPE or CAMERA-MEMORY, and then press

START/STOP.

When you are recording on a “Memory Stick” with an external flash (optional) attached to the intelligent accessory shoe, turn off the power of the external flash to prevent charging noise from getting recorded.
