Recording/Playback
When you close the LCD panel, the
camcorder goes to sleep mode (power
saving mode) instead of turning off. The
QUICK ON lamp keeps flashing during
sleep mode. Open the LCD panel again to
start recording next time. Your camcorder
returns to recording standby in
approximately 1 second.
z Tips
• During sleep mode, the battery is consumed at
about half that of usual recording.
• The power turns off automatically if you do not
operate your camcorder for a certain period
during sleep mode. You can set the time that
you want the camcorder to remain on before
automatically turning off in sleep mode
([QUICK ON STBY], p. 71).
• If you close the LCD panel while recording with
[SMTH SLW REC] (p. 30), your camcorder
will turn off without performing sleep mode.
You can record high quality still images
during movie recording by pressing
PHOTO.

before movie recording is finished and the still
images are completely stored on the “Memory
Stick PRO Duo.”

“Memory Stick PRO Duo” is not enough or

z Tips

still images becomes [ 2.3M] (16:9 wide) or
[1.7M] (4:3).
• You can record still images during recording
standby in the same way as when the (Still)
lamp is turned on. You can also record with the
flash.
Open the LCD panel 90 degrees to the
camcorder (1), then rotate it 270 degrees
to the lens side (2).

LCD screen, but the image will be normal when
recorded.
