• If you open the LCD screen or connect a cable to the camcorder during sleep mode, the sleep
mode ends and returns back to the last used operation mode.
• The power saving mode does not work in the following situations:
- When the camcorder has a DC power cable connection. (AC power adaptor, USB cable)
- While recording, playback, or the slideshow is being operated.
- When the LCD screen is opened.

power consumption in the standby mode) However, if you plan to use the camcorder for the
maximum length of time period, it is recommended to turn off the camcorder by pressing the
