Starting recording quickly (QUICK ON)

If you press the QUICK ON button, instead of turning off the power, the camcorder becomes power saving status (Sleep mode). While the Sleep mode is set, the QUICK ON button is flashed. To resume the next recording, press the QUICK ON button again. Your camcorder will be ready for recording after about 1 second.

zTips

•While the Sleep mode is set, the power consumption of the camcorder is reduced by about a half when it is compared during recording, and the battery power can be saved.

•When no operation is performed in the Sleep mode, the power is turned off automatically. You can set the desired turn off time of the camcorder with [QUICK ON STBY] (p. 97), when the camcorder is set to the Sleep mode.
