Tip
If you leave your camcorder powered by battery pack for 5 minutes while a disc is
inserted, your camcorder automatically turns off. This is to save battery power and to
prevent battery wear. Set the POWER switch to OFF (CHG) once, then set to ON, and
your camcorder is set to a standby mode. You can cancel the automatic power-off by
setting the (SETUP MENU) – [A. SHUT OFF] menu item to [NEVER] in the SETUP
display.

the green button.
