148 Additional Information
In standby mode, the camcorder will shut off after the time selected for
the [Quick Start (Standby)] setting.
[Quick Start (Standby)]: Select whether to activate the Quick Start function
(0 46) when you close the LCD panel in a recording mode and the
length of time after which the camcorder will end the standby mode and
shut off automatically.
You can set Quick Start to [Off], for example, if the camcorder is set on
a fixed position and you want to keep recording video with the LCD
panel closed in order to conserve the battery’s power.
[Battery Info]: Displays a screen where you can verify the battery charge
(as a percentage) and the remaining recording time ( , mode) or
playback time ( , mode).
[Control for HDMI]: Activates the HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Con-
trol) function. When you connect the camcorder to an HDTV compatible
with HDMI-CEC using the supplied HDMI cable, you can control the cam-
corder’s playback using the remote control of the TV.
If set to [A On], when the camcorder is connected to a compatible
HDTV using the supplied HDMI cable, the video input on the TV will
automatically be set to the camcorder’s video input. Then, you can use
the up/down/left/right buttons and the OK or SET button on the TV’s
remote control to play back your recordings.
Depending on the TV set, additional settings may be required on the TV
itself to activate the HDMI-CEC function. Refer to the TV’s instruction
manual.
Correct operation of the HDMI-CEC function cannot be guaranteed
even when connecting the camcorder to compatible TV sets. If you
cannot use the remote control of the TV, set [Control for HDMI] to
[B Off] and operate the camcorder directly or use the camcorder’s
wireless controller.
The remote control of the TV can only be used to play back movies or
photos ( or mode only). If the camcorder is connected to the
TV while it is set to a recording mode, depending on the TV used, turn-
ing off the TV will automatically turn off the camcorder even if it is
recording at the time.
We recommend not connecting more than 3 HDMI-CEC compatible
devices at a time.
[HDMI 1080p Output]: If set to [A On], when the camcorder is con-
nected to an HDTV that supports the 1080p standard using the supplied
HDMI cable, your video recordings (made in 1080i) will be converted and
output as 1080p.
