b Notes
• It takes a few seconds for your camcorder to be
ready to shoot after the power is turned on. You
cannot operate your camcorder during this time.
• The lens cover opens automatically when the
power is turned on. It closes when the playback
screen is selected, or the power is turned off.
• In the setting at the time of purchase, the power
turns off automatically if you leave your
camcorder without any operation attempted for
approximately 5 minutes, to save battery power
([A.SHUT OFF], p. 80).
z Tips
• After you have set the date and time ([CLOCK
SET], p. 34), the next time you change the
POWER switch position, the current date and
time will be displayed on the LCD screen for a
few seconds.
