If you press QUICK ON instead of turning
off the POWER switch, the power
consumption will be reduced (sleep mode).
In sleep mode, the QUICK ON button
flashes. If you press QUICK ON again
when you want to start next recording, your
camcorder will be ready for recording after
about 1 second.
b Notes
• While the camcorder is in sleep mode, the
power consumption will be about half that used
during recording. You can save the battery
power.
If you do not operate your camcorder and leave
it in sleep mode for a while, your camcorder
automatically turns off. With [QUICK ON
STBY], you can set the time after which the
camcorder turns off in sleep mode (p. 83).

pressing PHOTO while recording a movie.

displayed. You cannot record still images while

standby in the same way as when the (Still)
lamp is lit. You can also record with the flash.

use infrared light. Therefore, do not cover the
infrared port with your fingers or other objects.

when it is hard to focus automatically.
Do not use the NightShot and Super NightShot
functions in bright places. This may cause a
malfunction.

NightShot function (p. 89). To record a movie
more faithfully to the original colors, use Color
Slow Shutter function (p. 89).
