Quick Start Function
When you close the LCD panel with the
camcorder on, the camcorder enters
the standby mode. In standby mode the
camcorder consumes only about half
the power used when recording, saving
energy when you are using a battery
pack. Additionally, when you open the
LCD panel, the camcorder is ready to
start recording in approximately
1 second*, ensuring you do not miss
important shooting opportunities.
* The actual time required varies depending
on the shooting conditions.
1 With the camcorder on and in a
recording mode, close the LCD
panel.
• If you are using the
viewfinder and the LCD panel is
closed, press to enter
the standby mode.
• A beep will sound and the
indicator will change to orange to
indicate the camcorder entered the
standby mode.
2 When you wish to resume
recording, open the LCD panel.
• The indicator turns back
green and the camcorder is ready
to record.
• You can also press
to resume recording
using the viewfinder with the LCD
panel closed.
IMPORTANT
Do not disconnect the power source
during standby mode (while the
indicator is lit in orange).
NOTES
• If you close the LCD panel under some
circumstances (for example, while the
ACCESS indicator is flashing or a menu
is being displayed), the camcorder may
not enter standby mode. Check that the
indicator changes to orange.
• The camcorder will shut off if left in
standby mode for 10 minutes,
regardless of the [Power Saving
Mode] setting ( 95). Press to
turn on the camcorder.
• You can select the length of time until
shut-off or turn off the Quick Start
function altogether with the
[Quick Start] setting ( 96).
• Changing the position of the mode dial
while the camcorder is in standby mode
will reactivate the camcorder in the
operating mode selected.
Reviewing and Deleting the Last Scene

Even in mode you can play back
the last scene recorded in order to

while reviewing it.
