Turning DVD Video Camera On and Off
While holding down the blue button at the centre of

recording function:
Power ON status
During playback, set the power switch to “ ” or
“ ” when using disc, or set it to “ ” when using

Turn the switch while holding down the blue button
at the centre of switch.
Note:
• Once you turn the DVD Video Camera on to let it
recognise the disc, you can immediately record or play
back by turning the DVD Video Camera on again.
However, if you remove the disc, replace it, or if the date
changes after power is turned on, it will take some time
for the DVD Video Camera to start because it must
recognise the disc again (See page 143).
• Once you have turned the DVD Video Camera on to
record, you can immediately start recording when turning
the DVD Video Camera on next time (DVD-R disc).
• It will take some time for the DVD Video Camera to
display the Disc Navigation screen after power is turned
on.
• If you turn the DVD Video Camera on, the ACCESS
indicator will light or blink to show that the DVD Video
Camera is recognising the disc or card: During this time,
no operation, such as recording, can be performed.
After several seconds, the ACCESS indicator will go out,
and operating the DVD Video Camera will be possible.
If the ACCESS indicator does not go out, refer to “Check
4” on page 143.
• When the DVD Video Camera is turned on, the self-
diagnosis function will work and a message may appear.
In this case, refer to “Trouble Messages” on page 145
and take corrective action.
• While the ACCESS/PC or CARD ACCESS indicator is lit
or blinking, do not give a strong impact or vibration to the
DVD Video Camera.
